AKA - The under-occupancy penalty (also known as the under occupation penalty, Spare Room Subsidy, under-occupancy charge, under-occupation charge or size criteria). - From Wiki. But come on who calls it the 'The under-occupancy penalty'.... It is the bedroom tax in all but being pedantic. It's all too easy to have an opinion when it doesn't affect those and usually it is those with the loudest voices...

Shame it wasn't extended to the oldies. That's where most of the under occupancy properties are. Anyway it's all bull.. Those with extra bedrooms that have tried to downsize only to find out they couldn't. What's fair about that?
