Disabled people are taking their legal fight against the
Government's hated bedroom tax to the Court of Appeal. A three day hearing is

benefit rules .The appeal judges will be asked to rule that disabled people
should be entitled to full housing benefit "for the accommodation they
actually need". Read more on the Daily Mirror website.
