Should tenants receive less benefits if they live in a housing association or council property with…
No, but they should have to move into smaller property (as long as local) if under occupying by more than one bedroom or if living in ground floor flat or bungalow and under occupying when not disabled. However, financial compensation should be given to cover moving, travel to view property and redecorating costs, and practical help with packing and unpacking should be offered to those who are disabled and also childcare for moving day. Any adaptions for disability or upgrades to provide equivalent facilities to what they already have should be done in advance of moving. Tenant must not be financially or practically disadvantaged for travel to work or school.
