Benefits Britain: The Bedroom Tax

Channel 4 Dispatches will broadcast a programme on the Bedroom Tax at 8pm tonight.

The Government claims that the tax is fair, saving taxpayers money and encouraging welfare claimants to live in appropriately sized houses, but this Dispatches investigates the reality on the ground.

Reporter Seyi Rhodes travels the country to meet those affected by the change and those supposed to be implementing it. He speaks to the Conservative politicians speaking out against the reform, the councillors refusing to implement it, and the families at the frontline.
