Reagan's mum is facing eviction - https://www.change.org/p/gouverment-cancel-eviction-notice-for-julie-young-after-her-disabled-son-sadly-passed-away-and-is-now-been-charged-bed-room-tax-she-cant-afford?recruiter=61774563&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&;utm_campaign=autopublish&utm_term=des-lg-share_petition-reason_msg&fb_ref=Default

Reagan had no chance and to be fair I'm not sure I could have looked after him as a sole parent. I do admire his mother for not putting him in a home.

It was moving and thought provoking.

There is no reason now why Julie can't get a job. She has excellent skills and experience and she is employable. If she earns enough to pay her own rent she won't be facing eviction, that is harsh but true.

I know it sounds harsh as I do really admire the lady, but it's not just the bedroom tax, she will have lost quite a bit in disability and carers allowance so she will be left quite a bit worse off.
