People should be more bothered about putting a little back into society instead of whining about it and happy to bleed it dry . Example Moreton day centre for vulnerable adults is bein shut down and people rely on places like these for rest bite ! Looking after a disabled person 24 /7 would take its toll onany person. Its a shame that people would go to so effort to rally about the thought of losing a bedroom that's prob filled with junk anyway than things that matter to others maybe its time we all thought of others not just ourselves.

Sorry folks but not to be controversial but because I have a voice and an opinion, I agree with it.
Why should I, as a working person who pays tax, NI and the bloody rest, pay for someone to live in a 3 bed house and only use 1 bedroom!
People may have their own reasons for claiming housing tax benefit to get their "free" home but I have to earn mine and pay it myself, so please forgive me for not giving a toss that some estimated 660,000 working-age social tenants – 31% of existing working-age housing benefit claimants - will have to pay extra.
I get nothing back from the State. I pay 40% of my wage to Tax and another 11% to NI, thats over 50% of my wages gone before I see a single penny of it. Yes I am fortunate enough to have a job but bugger me if we only just make ends meet!
I can't afford a foreign holiday every year and have a 9 year old car, so if by paying your way for "spare" rooms then hopefully this will alleviate the burden on the tax payers of this country.
Oh! I only have a 2 bedroom ex-council house which is pretty big enough for both the wife and me and our teenage son.
Please everyone don't take this as any sort of personal attack but just my point of view and probably of many of other people on here just not willing to air their views.
I agree with the above statement, again i say life isnt fair. It wasnt fair that the men in our place had to come off shift because the 24hour security went to out side firm so the men had to go on days AND LOST THEIR SHIFT ALLOWENCE PAY. They had been on shift for years and now were losing a conciderable amount of wages. So this bed room tax is you paying out were the shift men were losing out. But no acknowlegement at all about these posts, we are all losing out in some way or another. Thats why some of us who arent affected by the bedroom tax,will be affected other ways eg hours cut at work, pay frozen and we still have to pay our mortgage.

Council tax is on the rise also.why not bedroom tax,Surely the ones who get rent paid and benefits who dont want to work,will pay there keep somehow, instead of protesting about it.disabled are exempt also foster carers,pensioners.

Exactly, lots of people in work would prob like to take to the streets to protest about having to work twice as hard for no extra pay when staff leave and arent replaced. LIFE IS STILL UNFAIR TO ALL.

I get taxed more = live with it. They get less benefits = up in arms, kicking off. Don't even get me started on what is fair. I'd live to regret my words.

Exactly, lots of people in work would prob like to take to the streets to protest about having to work twice as hard for no extra pay when staff leave and arent replaced. LIFE IS STILL UNFAIR TO ALL. Single Unemployed mum with two children = £1,400 per month.= Approx. £16,800 per annum. No council tax to pay Housing benefit given Rent equals poss. £600 Need two bedrooms Single Working father with two children = £1,400 per month =Approx £16,800 per annum Pays Council tax Pays Tax Pays National Insurance Pays Rent £600 Needs two bedrooms Pays to get to work Pays child maintenance Expected to have children 2/3 nights/days per week Single Unemployed father with two children= £71 per week = £3,692 per annum Housing benefit given Needs 2 bedrooms Will have to pay BT if social housing Needs to see children and feed them No Council Tax Needs to pay bills Needs to travel to collect children Needs to travel for any possible job interview Now, if I am wrong, please let me know, but it would a) seem that the chaps get a far worse deal than the females, and b) It would seem that working at the moment on a fairly average salary for this part of the country, is clearly, very hard to get by on. Who is worse off? If the companies began to increase the salaries some, I think more would be prepared to get out and work, more would go into the council tax pots and maybe this BT would not needed to have happened.

Foster carers, disabled and some pensioners are not exempt.. They have merely put a few more quid in the DHP pot.
