Mr Duncan Smith ...

also said he would advise local authorities that discretionary support should remain in place for other "priority groups" such as disabled people whose homes have had to be significantly adapted and those with long-term medical conditions which create difficulties in sharing a bedroom.

This bedroom tax is disgusting, I have already compiled a letter to David Cameron, who has passed my letter on to the department of work and pensions but as yet I have not heard from them, in any case, I am not yet affected but may be in the future, I have suggested that they tax people who have bigger homes and conservatories or people with large estates or people who keep stables etc, but not pick on the people who are on benefits for a good reason like us, I asked Mr Cameron to re consider this tax, I will fight all I can for the sake of other poor souls who like me cannot afford this, I already pay £50 a month service charges and I could not possibly afford this so called bedroom tax, it will put a lot of people into complete poverty. I will continue my fight.
