Bedroom Tax Refund
25 Answers
Hi, I posted the stuff below on an old thread but thought it may be useful to someone.
An old thread I know but I heard someone the other day saying about this case of the suicide and that she wouldn't have had to pay the extra money. It was about something in the Guardian paper last month the link is below. If there is anyone on here who has been affected by it then they may want to take a look. If you think you may have got a case for refund then it may be worth your while asking about it as not all councils keep records going back that far so they may not contact you. What I meant in the last bit was that they may not tell you that you may be entitled to a refund unless you contact them.

the councils make up the rent they 'should' have paid.
The disruption was huge and they wont pay for that
neither will they pay anything for people who threw in the sponge and moved....
whether or not housing benefit is a 'good thing' is another argument
[ it is obviously a 'good thing' for me....]

Yes BOO 'bedroom tax' was a reduction in housing benefit meaning that if you received Housing Benefit then the amount you get is for the number of bedrooms you need and if you had more bedrooms than that you had to make up the difference yourself so in fact you would have paid some of the rent. The link I put on shows that if you had been claiming HB for a certain time and been in the same house then you would be exempt from paying it.
