Query on disabled children and bedrooms

Does the concession for ‘children’ also apply to ‘young persons’?

Anyone aged 16 or over requires a room for themselves anyway or am I missing something?

Yes, you’re missing the fact that I’m a complete dumbo!

Sorry, and thanks for being gentle.

Interesting to see how the bedroom tax impacts on numbers of Homeless YPs.

For the first time, for some parents, in the social sector, there will now be a 14%/25% penalty for having evicted their children, on or just after their 16th birthday…

Maybe we shall see families sticking together longer or even reuniting…..?

Unless….. they will then be subject to the cap…...
