If you are living in social housing that is bigger than you need, your housing benefit entitlement will be restricted if you are under pension age – this is called the under occupancy charge (more commonly known as ‘the bedroom tax’).
Use this handy tool to work out how much you will have to pay.
If you would like to move to a smaller property, you can register for a move via Property Pool Plus. You can also register for mutual exchanges, which are often quicker and allow you to swap with any other approved landlord in your chosen area. This can be done via Property Pool Plus or via homeswapper direct.
