Apparently if a parent recieves a letter notifying them of eviction proceedings they will be considered to have caused this situation intentionally and Childrens Services will be notified.
Ive seen at least 3 copies of letters like this on Twitter over the past few days. So Sad Angry

No you're not being unreasonable at all.The bedroom tax is a cruel punishment on the poor and their innocent child/ren.
My thinking is what do parents do pay the bedroom tax and not feed their child/ren which could be what some poor families are having to do. I'm sure the social services would be involved then too. Although I am not affected by the bedroom. I still went to meetings about it and have signed many petitions against it. Ed Milliband has announced that should Labour get back in on the next election he will abolish the bedroom tax. Well lets see if he sticks to his word. xxx

Dawndonna Shock Im watching the debate on Parliament channel A politician stood up and talked about a constituent in renal failure who is struggling to pay the bedroom tax and got jeered. Thats how much they give a shit. And Ian Duncan Smith is in fucking Paris!

Many HA tenancy agreements forbid taking in lodgers as it is considered a form of subletting.

Exactly. As usual the Gov havent even looked at the rules themselves.

Many get a second home, too, no scrutinising how many bedrooms, to keep, paid for by the state.

It's not just the LibDems who should feel ashamed, about 47 Labour MPs didn't bother to turn up for the vote. If they had Labour would have won.
