I think to find out how the bedroom tax and benefit cuts affect, who some would describe as the "deserving poor", you need to stick to local Newspapers.
I am in Liverpool and already there are sucide attempts, because people will not be able to live. There are already more and more boarded up houses, because of the bedroom tax.
Every housing provider says that demand out numbers supply and will continue to do so.
We do not have a housing problem on Merseyside, the areas where houses are available, aren't the best, i live in one of them, but there are 3 bed houses with gardens for under £80 a week. We did not need the bedroom tax, i supposed Birmingham didn't, either. There is life outside London, even if it isn't thought worthwhile, by some.
Liverpool will loss the most in terms of benefits and cuts to budgets, there is a shortage of jobs and shops are closing weekly (with the associated ware housing and transportetc jobs).
There are meetings and it is being organised to have a mass stand off, as we did over the Poll tax. I hope it goes ahead, i join in the protests, it is a good mix. The Liverpool Echo, report well on these subjects.
The family in this story are rare and if they do go into hostel accomodation, they will need support workers (two of the children are disabled), possibly SW intervention, at least a CAF from school, so it will cost us more to disrupt this family.
We are going back to the 70's and 80's, where people cannot afford to eat and have any standard of living, couple that with some of our issues (such as immigration) and the Tories best start planning to spend double on crime prevention (as they did in the 80's, no money was saved by cuts to welfare).
