Stop the council charging for extra bedrooms for benefit claimants
The council charge per spare bedroom for anyone in receipt of benefits. These are our homes, why should we be penalized for not working, when I'm a carer, already saving the government money. people in work don't have to pay it, as a carer I'm already struggling.
