“Bedroom Tax” on the agenda at next Practitioners' Forum

Staff from the Housing Executive’s Housing Benefit Policy Unit will brief the next Housing Advice Practitioners' Forum on the Social Sector Size Criteria, or the “bedroom tax”, on Thursday 15th June, 2pm, at Housing Rights.

The Practitioners' Forum is an information event that updates members of Housing Rights on key developments in housing law and policy. It is free to attend. 

The introduction of the size criteria and associated supplementary payments in February 2017, has impacted around 33,500 social households; there have also been significant recent developments in the policy, as a consequence of the recent successful appeals at the UK Supreme Court.

The Forum will also include routine updates on relevant case law, legislation and other relevant information. If you’re organisation is a member of Housing Rights, you can register for this event by e-mailing [email protected].
