A BLIND woman has been made homeless after being denied help to pay the bedroom tax, her local councillor said yesterday.

Carol Sutherland, who had been living in her Lincolnshire home for over 30 years, was evicted this April.

Labour councillor Jackie Kirk, who has been supporting Ms Sutherland, told the Star that the 56-year-old was given no help to cover the cost or even fill out the forms.
