Bereavement protection & Bedroom Tax
It’s Monday & my brain isn’t fully operational, but I’m trying to think ahead of myself.
Non-dep passed away in October, taking the family’s 3 bed need down to 2 bed. Social Landlord, so the family will now fall under the bedroom tax come April. Will the family be able to receive the same protection as a private tenancy, and not get hit by the bedroom tax for 12 months from the date of death? Even though they’re not going to see a restriction in their HB for the first 6 months after the death anyway?
Got it. Reg 12BA. Now to quote it at my LA.
