13.4.1. Spare Bedroom Tax
13.4.1.1. Reform the policy to remove the spare bedroom subsidy. Existing social tenants will not be subject to any housing reduction until they have been offered reasonable alternative accommodation.
13.4.1.2. We will ensure tenants who need an extra bedroom for genuine medical reasons are entitled to one in any assessment of their housing benefit needs and those whose homes are substantially adapted do not have their benefits reduced.
