But surely the Demon has a right to a room of its own?

How can this be underoccupancy?

Thats the problem with some local authorities : no flexibility…..

Although the spirit of the law isnt being applied here I personally think she hasnt a ghost of a chance.

She should exorcise her right to appeal.

I’m so fed up of The Daily Mail demonising claimants!

But surely she qualifies for an extra room for an overnight scarer?

Lol. I’m going to use this one at work and give you no credit. If anyone reads this I’ll have to kill them.

Will her HB claim also now be subject to a Nocturnal Demonic Deduction?

But at least she can apply for a Demonic Housing Payment.

But the Demon, surely, has a right to reside?

Depends whether the demon is a European Ectoplasmic Area National or not.

Those exorcisms aren’t cheap either; maybe help from the Local Demonic Ghoul Scheme.
