The DWP has overturned a tribunal’s decision to exempt
two brothers from the bedroom tax due to room size. The upper tribunal ruling,
which is binding on all first-tier tribunals in Britain, found there was no
relevant link between the overcrowding definitions in the Housing Act and
bedroom tax regulations. The Housing Acts state that a room between 50 and 70
square feet is only sufficient for a child under the age of 10. Download a copy
