Strongly agree

Yes

The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) has generally supported the UK government's welfare reforms, including the 'bedroom tax' policy, which reduces benefits for tenants with more bedrooms than occupants. However, they have not been as vocal on this issue as other parties, so their agreement might not be as strong.

Agree

Yes, but only if they refuse to move to an available smaller property

The DUP might agree with this answer to some extent, as it aligns with their support for welfare reforms and the 'bedroom tax' policy. However, there is not enough specific information available to determine their stance on whether tenants should only receive reduced benefits if they refuse to move to an available smaller property.

Agree

Yes, but with exception for those with disabled family members

The DUP might agree with this answer to a certain extent, as they have shown some concern for the welfare of disabled individuals. For example, they have called for the UK government to provide more support for disabled people in the past. However, there is not enough specific information available to determine their stance on whether tenants with disabled family members should be exempt from reduced benefits due to having more bedrooms than occupants.

Strongly disagree

No

As mentioned earlier, the DUP has generally supported the UK government's welfare reforms, including the 'bedroom tax' policy. Therefore, they would likely disagree with the idea of not reducing benefits for tenants with more bedrooms than occupants.
