HI and welcome,I'm a community champion here on scope and i advise others with the complex benefit system. More information is needed to be able to help you further.Do you rent privately or from social housing? If you rent from social housing and you have spare bedrooms, if you're state pension age then the bedroom tax doesn't apply to you.If you're renting privately then your rent will be based on the local housing allowance for your area, how many bedrooms you're entitled to receive will depend on circumstances like how many in your household. If you're requesting for extra money for an extra bedroom then this will depend on your circumstances and the reason for needing the extra room.
