Collaborative research carried out by university and social landlord has found the Department of Work and Pensions may have significantly over-estimated the savings from the bedroom tax. The aims of this report are to explore: the extent to which key assumptions about claimant behaviour underlying the DWP’s final impact assessment of June 2012 are reflected in real data available from housing organisations since 1st April 2013, and the extent to which the DWP model contains all of the main factors likely to influence the level of Housing Benefit savings from the policy. It also discusses whether any other costs should be taken into account in assessing the overall cost impact of the policy.
