55-year old Donna lives with her husband Graham and their 19-year old daughter in a three-bedroom council house. Donna, a former medical secretary, now has multiple impairments and mental health problems. She and Graham were legally separated three years ago, but Graham has remained as her carer, living in the box room of the family home. Since the bedroom tax takes no account of their separation, the family has been told they are liable for £60 per month of their rent or will face eviction. Donna says, “This house is the only place I feel safe in my life. I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
