I believe they can, under the new Universal Credit system, which is available to working people on low income, part of it is the old Council tax Benefit (also available to low income families). Now if they live in rented accommodation with "spare bedrooms" then they get his by the bedroom tax. Although it doesn't come out of their pay it'll come out by their benefits being reduced.bringon4dayweeks wrote:as much as i dont vote tory if someone can tell me that they work and have the bedroom tax stopped out of their wages i will stop posting on here

You may get Housing Benefit if:
you pay rent
you’re on a low income or claiming benefits
your savings are below a certain level - usually £16,000
You can apply if you’re employed or unemployed, but if you live with a partner, only one of you can get Housing Benefit.
If you’re single and under 35, you can only get Housing Benefit for bed-sit accommodation or a single room in shared accommodation.
Under-occupied rooms
From April 2013, if you live in council accommodation or other social housing and are assessed as having at least 1 extra bedroom in your house, your Housing Benefit could be reduced by:
14% of the ‘eligible rent’ if you have 1 extra bedroom
25% of the ‘eligible rent’ if you have 2 or more extra bedrooms
The reduction is worked out based on your eligible rent (including any eligible services), not on your Housing Benefit.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

For anyone who cant be arsed clicking a link
Responding to the announcement yesterday by Liberal Democrat Business Secretary Vince Cable that a majority stake in the Royal Mail would be sold off by the government, Green Party leader Natalie Bennett said:
"The privatisation of Royal Mail is the latest ideologically driven, disastrous step by this government which is doing nothing to start the essential reshaping of the British economy, but is determined to hand over the last bits of the family silver to multinational companies.
"The approach of privatisation has proved disastrous for our water system, disastrous for our electricity and gas supplies, and particularly disastrous for our railways. Yet still the push towards it, from Margaret Thatcher through Tony Blair to David Cameron continues.”
Bennett added: "Green MP Caroline Lucas, with her private members' bill to bring the railways back into public ownership is leading the way to reverse this trend. What we need is for the Labour Party to show that it has broken with its New Labour past and back it. That would add a sense of verisimilitude to Labour’s criticisms in parliament today of the Royal Mail move."
Bennett offered congratulations to the CWU and the Royal Mail workers, who are resisting the government's attempts to buy them off with a share handout to staff.
"They understand that privatisation is a devil's pact that inevitably results in damage to staff pay and conditions, cuts to services, and profits stuffed into shareholder's pockets, all too often through the conduit of tax havens.”
