A disabled woman, who is unable to share a bedroom with
her husband, has won an appeal against the government's under-occupancy charge.
A housing benefit tribunal said Redcar and Cleveland Council had not fully

cut the Redcar couple's benefit, arguing they were under-occupying their
three-bedroom home. The government said the ruling did not set a precedent for
similar appeals. Read more on the BBC website.
