JSA claimants have to manage on £70 now none of them are likely to have a spare room so unlikely to fall foul of bedroom tax however those who live away from home will fall foul of the new council tax rules leaving them on around £67 a week this to me is around the bare minimum you can run a bedsit off and eat when you include utilities and internet or daily travel to job centres and libraries

I worked it out yesterday on £53 a week I would be able to pay my way if I lived in a bedsit and buy 2 loaves of bread 2 bottles of milk and a few tins of beans for the week

If I lived in this house I would be £20 in debt every week
