Removal of the Spare Room Subsidy: Interim Evaluation Report

As the post immediately below states, the DWP has issued an interim report presents early findings from the evaluation of the Bedroom Tax or as the Coalition call it the Removal of the Spare Room Subsidy (RSRS). The objectives of this project are to evaluate:
·        the preparation and implementation of the policy changes by local  authorities and social landlords
·        the extent of increased mobility within the social housing sector  leading to more effective use of the housing stock
·        the extent to which more people are in work, working increased hours  or earning increased incomes as a result of the RSRS
         the effects of the RSRS, and responses to it, of:
·        claimants
·        landlords
·        local authorities
·        voluntary and statutory organisations and advice services
·        funders lending to social landlords
