I am not confusing anybody. It is a cut in housing benefit of up to 23% for 670,000 households, of which, according to the Government's own impact assessment, 400,000 include a disabled person and 108,000 are in adapted properties. Most of those people will have no means of avoiding the cut in their housing benefit, because there is nowhere for them to go. Even if there were, the Government do not want some of them to go there, because then they would not meet their own savings targets.
