Lib Dem DWP Committee calls for further exemptions to under occupancy penalty

The Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Party Committee for Work and Pensions has called on the Government to introduce further exemptions for groups of society from the under occupancy penalty, as well bringing forward a full and proper review of the policy once it is implemented. Current exemptions are those of pensionable age; those in local housing shared ownership; those in temporary housing; the recently bereaved, who have protection for 52 weeks; and those who are provided with overnight care by an unpaid carer.
