More than 400,000 people with a disability are set to lose more than £650 a 
year when the measure comes into force in April

Blast: Ed Miliband at PMQs
David Cameron's hated bedroom tax will leave hundreds of thousands of disabled 
people worse off.

More than 400,000 people with a disability are set to lose more than £650 a 
year when the measure comes into force in April.

Ed Miliband seized on the figures in a clash at PM's questions. The Labour 
leader said disabled people will lose £306million.

He added: "He pulls out all the stops to defend the bankers and their bonuses 
but he's got nothing to say to disabled people who have been hit by his bedroom 
tax.

"He stands up for the wrong people - it's no wonder his backbenchers and the 
country think he's totally out of touch."

From April anyone in social housing with a spare room will lose 14% of their 
housing benefit or 25% if they have two or more rooms.

Government figures showed 420,000 disabled people will be an average of £14 a 
week worse off.

But it has set aside just £25million to help disabled people affected - the 
equivalent of £1.14 in help.

As a result, victims of tax, which Mr Cameron calls the spare room subsidy, 
will lose £668 a year.

The Daily Mirror revealed today how in Newcastle 7,000 people have an "extra" 
room but there are only 50 one-bed flats to move to.

.....and lets not forget the non-dependent deductions being made. My 20 year 
old son has just got his first full-time job and is finding that his friends on 
jobseekers allowance are financially better off than he is. If you think things 
are bad with these current Tories then just wait for UKIP to gain some 
power...then you will see what extreme right wing conservatism can really do.
