Campaigners celebrated a landmark win yesterday after Britain's human rights laws saved a Glasgow wheelchair user from the controversial bedroom tax.

The woman and her husband, who have asked not to be named, faced a 14 per cent cut to their housing benefit after Glasgow City Council told them they should share her specially adapted bedroom.

The woman, who has advanced multiple sclerosis, sleeps in a hospital-style bed with a tracking hoist and a "monkey pole" to assist her movement.
