What? Is something like that really implented in UK?

Well clearly it was. Just another way of trying to cut benefits for the wrong reasons.

Get your appeals in now.  A UK court has ruled if it doesn't have a bed in it and it's not used for sleeping in, it's NOT a bedroom:  http://speye.wordpress.com/2014/02/08/the-bedroom-tax-is-dead-heres-why/
Time to kill this botched and grossly unfair legislation once and for all.

This was an absolute joke of a law, but how the hell are they going to check for beds? Surely everyone will just say there's no bed in there?
They should have considered that before bringing in such a ridiculous law.  They won't be able to check everyone.  The more people who file an appeal and win, the more likely it is to be scrapped.
