A COUNCIL has overturned a court decision not to make a disabled veteran pay the bedroom tax for a room so small it couldn’t contain an adult single bed.

Vale of Glamorgan Council in south Wales came under fire yesterday after confirming it had “superseded” a first-tier tribunal judgement and would charge Guy Watts the tax.

The dispute has been ongoing since October last year, when the council attempted to back its decision to tax the former Royal Navy serviceman by quoting online encyclopaedia Wikipedia.
