If someone who lives alone has an empty spare bedroom and takes a refugee, would s/he lose the 25% council tax benefit and the severe disability premium?

I've just realised that I posted this in the wrong category, it should be under ESA, not DLA/PIP.0

Its a good question, i read about this earlier on the payments for housing 350 a month. Then like you I thought would that impact on benefits? At a guess I would think it would effect council tax and other means tested benefits.0

Is this not the same Tory government that was not that long ago penalising people with a so called "bedroom tax". Now they are looking for people with extra room in their home. What a comedy and hypocritical government, who makes things up as they go, clueless!!!1
