One of the reasons I have been told is that currently if a landlord receives the money direct and the tenant is caught fraudulently claiming then the landlord has to pay the money back.
This way the tenant is liable. Not sure if its true though.

I for one am for the "bedroom tax" and won't vote labour in the upcoming LCC election.

To me that's a poor reason for changing the system, the landlord is more likely not to get paid if it goes directly to the tenant, you can image a guy has a choice, paying the rent or going to the pub, its a no brainer really

That's stupid why don't they make the tenant pay it back? If he was fraudulently claiming then he should be able to get a job or might already have a job.

the perpetrator should always be made to pay, which for some reason they aren't in this country, to me if somebody steals a £5 or £5 million they should be made to pay it back not send them to jail in lieu of payment, it should be jail plus payback

Can someone now explain what use this tax is?
I have finally got a letter telling me how much per week I will have to pay towards my rent.
I have also received a letter from the benefits office telling me that due to a change in my circumstances my benefit is to increase by the same amount.
Doing a quick bit of mental maths, if the amount they are taking is equal to the amount they are giving, what on earth was the point of this exercise in the first place?
Instead of saving money surely this has cost the Country more in having to re-calculate all the benefits affected.
Plus, if they knew this would happen why did the government put so may of us through the mill worrying about how we were going to pay?

be carefull less that council calculation could be from before you got your extra from teh benefits and if thats teh case as soon as they get a sniff your getting a little extra they will send you another your calculation needs to be adjusted letter taking it away from you.

your rent calculation should have been done a long time ago its pretty late in the day almost 2 months after bedroom tax started to be telling you that your getting a rent reduction
