How Bedroom Tax works
Housing benefit is calculated based on rules about
how many bedrooms the Government thinks you
need rather than how many bedrooms you have.
The rules say that housing benefit will pay for one
bedroom per person in the household.
One ‘extra’ bedroom will mean your Housing Benefit
drops by 14% a week. Two or more ‘extra’ bedrooms
will mean a 25% cut in Housing Benefit.
