Social Housing

I just am at a loss as to just what the government is actually up to, just who thought up this bedroom tax?, whatever is said all it is for is to remove elderly people from the home that they have lived in for 30 years or more, these are people that have never had the chance to buy, in their life time you went to work, married and went on the council waiting list for a council house, when you took this house you took it for life all rooms in the house included in the tenancy, so just where do they stand now? it seems that they will have to pay for any empty bedrooms, then comes a little problem one sleeps in one room the other in the second room because of sleep problems one or the other partner suffers from, but this is not acceptable, the wonderful officers who say that you are married so you only need one bedroom and no excuses as to why you might need two. So I say give it a rest let people live out their lives without any extra pressure, one thing is for sure many elderly people will fall ill over this and feel that they are being forced out of their life time homes, so who will benefit from this?, I will leave you to form your own opinions on this I am sure you will be thinking the same as me.
