Bedroom tax

HappyDays

hi guys

came across this juicy bit of information and thought i would share it with you all as ive read posts on here concerning this before.

 If your small bedroom is 70sq ft or under, it is classed as a boxroom, therefore, cannot be charged bedroom tax. This is listed under the Housing Act 1985 section 326. Please use this.The housing act 1985 cannot be changed by law.

Check it out it could prove usefull to some of you

    Thanks for finding this though my reading is that a child under ten can have a bedroom under 70 sq ft but over 50 sq ft. (Mine is 43 sq ft phew! - not that I am affected at the moment, but it may come).

    I am not sure why you think it can never be changed - acts are constantly being repealed and replaced by new ones.
