Locals vow to stop bedroom tax eviction
Woman forced out of home for ‘piffling’ debt
A DISABLED woman faces being forcibly evicted tomorrow over a “piffling” bedroom tax debt — but activists have vowed to defend her home.
Forty-eight-year-old Julie Owen was told to “pay up or get evicted” by Merthyr Valley Homes housing association last week.
Now Ms Owen, who suffers from two spinal prolapses and sciatica in one leg, and her partner who cares for her have just 24 hours to find £720 to save their home.
