Test cases to challenge discriminatory ’no DSS’ policies towards renters

New report from Shelter and the National Housing Federation - Stop DSS Discrimination: Ending prejudice against renters on housing benefit - says their campaign against the policies -

‘... will include bringing test cases before the courts to argue that ‘No DSS’ policies can amount to indirect discrimination under the Equality Act. A successful case would send a strong message that these policies are not only discriminatory, but ultimately illegal, and help to put an end to unjust bans once and for all.’
