Housing benefit 'bedroom tax'. How will it affect you?

Will you be affected by the "bedroom tax"?

In April 2013 the government will be introducing what has become known as the "Bedroom Tax" for working age tenants of social housing.

Essentially this means that your housing benefit will be reduced by 14% and 25% for every one and two bedrooms that you are under occupying in your home.

This will have serious financial consequences for those affected as they will be due to pay the shortfall in their rent.

For further information see the leaflet. If you have any other enquiries please contact your housing officer on 0141 440 2244
