She has been battling with a very severe disability all of her life. Everyday is a struggle for her.
Twenty years ago after a long stay in hospital she was offered a 2 bedroom council flat so that she could be near us - her family - so that we can care for her and support her.
She knows she can never work again. Her consultant advised against it and it is just not a practical option.
And now she is expected to pay about 7% of her income in bedroom tax because the council gave her 2 bedrooms. She didn't ask for 2 bedrooms, it's all they had available. They can't offer her 1 bedroom and anyway moving would much more difficult for her than anyone else.
I'm so furious. On the day the Govt spend £10 million+ on a very controversial funeral they have just made life even more difficult and miserable for my brave, vulnerable sister. Bastards.

to be furious that my long-term disabled sister has just been told she will have to pay the bedroom tax?
