It is a shame for the couple that lost their daughter, but the fact remains they now live in an under occupied home whilst families are having to live in bed and breakfasts all over the country. There is a massive housing shortage here in the UK which has to be addressed so you will find extremes like this which the media will take great advantage in order fire up the sheeple
.This case is a sad one, but like Jeremy Bentham said "it is the greatest good to the greatest number of people which is the measure of right or wrong"

67,000 pensioners to be hit by bedroom tax
More than 67,000 pensioners could be hit by the bedroom tax – despite the government’s insistence the controversial policy will only apply to people of working age.
Exclusive research carried out by the Chartered Institute of Housing for Inside Housing shows there are 67,000 households on housing benefit where one partner is over pension age and one is under.
Although these people won’t be hit by the under-occupation penalty, commonly known as the bedroom tax, from 1 April, they will be hit by the penalty when they move on to the new universal credit after October.
An impact assessment published by the Department for Work and Pensions last June said couples will remain on universal credit, which applies to working-age households, until both members of the couple reach pension age. The bedroom tax, under which social housing tenants will have their benefit cut if they have a spare room, will apply to all universal credit claimants.
Gavin Smart, policy and practice director at the CIH, described the findings as ‘extremely worrying’.
He said: ‘The government needs to make sure these people are protected as the transition to universal credit takes place.’
A DWP spokesperson confirmed such ‘mixed-age’ couples will be affected when they transfer to universal credit between October 2013 and 2017. He also said the younger person in the couple will benefit from ‘work incentives’ through universal credit.
Meanwhile, activists in Liverpool have been encouraging people to protest outside the offices of social landlords about the bedroom tax.
Last Thursday protestors targeted Liverpool Mutual Homes while protests will take place outside the offices of One Vision Housing on 28 February and West Lancashire Council on 25 February.
Neil Furey, a Labour councillor at Conservative-led West Lancashire Council who is backing the protests, said landlords should be doing more to help people affected by the bedroom tax cope, such as putting together hardship funds to help people pay their rent.

So will it go back to the days when young girls will get pregnant just so they can get a house ?
If there is such a thing as a housing shortage the goverment is to blame for it.
This Isle is one big f@ck up.

Lets not forget the governments role in all this, through their gross incompetence they are targeting the more vunrable in sociaty, did our government assess the housing needs while they had an open door policy on imigration, have they been building new homes to cater for the expanded population, no they haven't and although they have built some it falls way short of whats needed, whole estates have been demolished because they were delapadated and neglected for decades, many were never rebuilt, but hey give the government the thumbs up, after all they are spending billions on the false war on terrorism, billions on building a drone fleet, billions on submarines, countless billions on everything that is not needed and nothing on everything that is needed, respectfully if you had parents that lived in a house for 20 years and one or 2 childrem moved out but you still have a few at home, they go local schools and such, would you be happy if they were shifted 20 miles away into a shit hole neighbourhood because all the one and 2 bedroom houses and flats have locally already been taken, its a massive social injustice that should never have reached this stage in the first place, so what happens, because people are settled they will have to pay this money to stay and more and more will move into poverty, as one of the commentors says its all about the tax revenue, the rest is a side show, the government know probably 80% will pay this bedroom tax to stay, its a hand rub job from the off nothing more and speaking first hand from observing many of these houses when they do become empty immigrant families with massive families are moved in so i think my point is proven to a degree, don't mistake my words with being a bigot i mearly point out an obvious observation
You laugh at me because I am different; I laugh because you are all the same
...WTF !! ~ DID YOU KNOW THAT BE@STLY BL@STARDS ARE EXEMPT FROM PAYING THE BEDROOM TAX ...

ANSWER TO BEDROOM TAX
The bedroom tax is a fkn joke damned disgrace to the nation is WTF it is....
Personally Ima have a 2 bedroom flat getting charged £40 a month for the vacant room...
Ahaha Ima get a lodger in and fkn gonna be getting a wage in soon problem solved WIN fkn WIN
David CA-MORAN and his Beastly rouges have actually done me a favour making me get my @ss in gear, Ima hoping that this has motivated others to stop sucking the villainous titties of the benefit system in saying that there is fkn a mega amount of folks that canni work for health reasons and are getting slapped on JSA but really Ima say at least a quarter of these folks that were claiming Incapacity Benefit that are now on ESA should really be working to better their own future and to make one for their families if they have one that is of course.
Beastly CA-MORAN has gone the WRONG way about motivating folks back into work, picking on the severely disabled and the poor in a manner that can only be met with an equal ignorance.
Folks dunni see that this plonker has tried to get wasters off Incapacity and back to work, but in doing so many a needy has been on a roller coaster of glum and many have and will perish as not knowing how to cope with no real support these poor souls are what is going to be the haunting demise of CA-MORAN'S EXIT from the political stage, not the EU not the selling off of the national health nor is it the age rise of pension's, to be perfectly clear this is nothing less than collateral murder while the other Beastlys are pushing to lower the age of consent to 13
WTF !! pro PEDOPHILE BRITAIN
Does this not scare you? does your blood not boil?
Well stay calm as it is that time that the sheeps will mutate out of this sleep and fkn destroy the Beastlys ways...
Only way to get over the bedroom tax is to get a lodger and/or back to work and slave yer @ss off for the Beastly's...
