I followed your link, A, and also spotted this case, Brutality of the Bedroom Tax exposed in disgraceful images of disabled Merseyside man driven from home (http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liv ... ul-9911421). It's difficult to select an individual quote as its all so tragic and unnecessary, but perhaps this highlights its banality.HindleA wrote:http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liv ... d-10754024
Bedroom Tax victory: Brain damaged ex-footballer in Rocket flyover fall beats hated Tory policy
I note the family turned to their MP for help but notice no mention of IDS or Cameron. I cannot believe they haven't been approached about similar cases but their belief shall always trump anecdote as in their eyes it is not real life.And in a final insult, their old home is now occupied by an elderly couple who are exempt from the tax while Rob and his family have been forced to move THREE times.
Rob suffers from cerebral palsy , epilepsy, double incontinence and has a mental age of four.
He lived in his family’s four-bedroom home for 24 years and the local council spent £70,000 adapting it.
As I've said before, whenever I think of Cameron and his lies at the dispatch box about the disabled and the Bedroom Tax, I am always reminded that my late wife and I never contemplated claiming DLA for our infant daughter (until she was older and a full year after my wife's stroke), whereas pig-fucker had no such qualms.
I personally don't know anyone affected by the under-occupancy penalty and neither would it have applied to us but it does not make it any less real. I'm grateful that my wife is no longer with us to suffer the indignities that this government imposes although I still have concerns for my daughter.
