Also, DWP finally admit that its a money saving exercise and not about freeing up housing for sardine families as previously claimed...
Quote:
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) rejects the "bedroom tax" tag and says the reality is that "a spare room subsidy" has been removed from social sector tenants.
DWP lawyers say reduction of rising housing benefit expenditure is an "integral aspect" of the Government's deficit reduction programme, and the change in regulations is expected to produce savings of £500m a year.
