Disabled parents hit with £1,600 bedroom tax bill after teen sons move out

A disabled couple "burst into tears" after a council told them they now owed £1,600 in bedroom tax.

Philip Elliott and Elizabeth Aslett, both 56 - who have lived in the three-bedroom council property for more than a decade - say they'll struggle to pay the bill, triggered after their two teenage sons moved out in September.

Eldest child Ryan, 18, has gone to university and 16-year-old Lewis is away in Army training for the Guards, reports NottinghamshireLive.
