Caerphilly AM Jeff Cuthbert, MP Wayne David and local councillors will be holding a ‘Bedroom Tax’ advice surgery on Friday March 8.

The meeting will take place at the Graig Y Rhacca Resource Centre with the aim of speaking with residents who have concerns about the impact of the UK Government’s welfare reforms. The drop-in surgery is being held between 1pm and 3pm.

From April 1 2013, changes to housing benefit by the UK Government will mean that working-age recipients could face a cut of 14% to their payments for one spare bedroom, and a 25% cut for two spare bedrooms or more.
