Abolish Bedroom Tax Or Give More support for financially vulnerable people

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

1. Abolish Bedroom Tax,
If No
2. More help for financially vulnerable people/ disabled people as well. People are suffering from this awful taxation being put on families that can’t afford the amount.
We are unfortunately well aware by now of the devastating impact of the bedroom tax on families

While the number of claimants paying bedroom tax has decreased slightly since the early summer, there are still too many households being forced to pay out extra cash they simply cannot pay

Once again, it’s time for the UK Government to face up to the damage this ridiculous policy is doing to families across the country

Getting taxed on an extra bedroom while having lived in there homes before this.
