Just to note that the 10 joined bedroom tax Judicial Review claims (for initial details see our note) are listed for full hearing on Wednesday to Friday next week (15-17 May). The claims involve a range of challenges to the regulations involving disabled adults, disabled children and children unable to share rooms for other reasons.
More details as soon as we get them.

News is just breaking that the challenge has failed.
Bedroom tax judgment was released today – 30.07.2013.
The challenge has not failed on everything as we won on the need for new regulations to cover disabled children unable to share a room.

Although the judgment seems to say that the “regs/guidance” argument as mainly advanced by Birmingham CC, rather than any of the claimants. Not that it really matters. Good to win on one point at least.
Was permission to appeal granted?
