Terry and Elva moved from a one-bed flat to a two-bed housing trust property 18 months ago, so their grandchildren could stay overnight to give their parents a break. They did this particularly because one of the grandchildren has autism, and her mother has a chronic pain condition. Now they are losing £12 per week in bedroom tax. Elva says, “We have always worked, but we are being stigmatised as benefits scroungers.”
