bedroom tax for someone on PIP - Wed, 17/07/2024 - 10:02
I've had an enquiry from a patient in relation to PIP and the bedroom tax. The patient currently pays bedroom tax for 2 spare bedrooms and has 'heard' that she only has to pay the bedroom tax on one of her spare rooms if she is in receipt of PIP?
The patient's PIP is suspended whilst she is in hospital. She remains in receipt of ESA. PIP will resume on discharge.
I would have thought that bedroom tax would be dealt with by the housing benefit via the Local Authority?
