A New Policy Institute report has found-
70% of those affected by the Bedroom Tax have also seen their council tax support cut
380,000 families have been affected by the “Bedroom Tax” and 2.3 million families by council tax support cuts. 270,000 families have been affected by both.
Council tax support cuts have affected six times as many people as the Bedroom Tax because any working-age low income family could be affected.
