Never be so flippant as to assume that it can't happen to you or someone close to you, because if it does, you'd understand. I hope it doesn't take this to change your attitude towards the mentally ill.

erm I asked a question ,which you haven't answered by the way ,there has to be a line where the system says "you do not qualify for that benefit" it's nobodies fault when some people top themselves when the system says no,those same people would most likely top themselves for different reasons

This was the way that the Government tried to sell the idea of the Bedroom Tax (BT) to the electorate and is an oversimplification of the issue.
Numerous examples have been given as to why it's not a good idea.
In your example, what happens if there are no suitable one person properties available for the tenant?
I would agree with the BT if people had suitable alternative accommodation available and refused to move into it.

There is no such thing as the bedroom tax
as has been pointed out many, many times in various threads it is a reduction in housing benefit based on the number of rooms you need ,exactly the same as rents in the private sector have been for decades which nobody whinged about
