| Welfare secretary Iain Duncan Smith has instructed officials to "look again" at how the bedroom tax will affect disabled people, the BBC has been told.
Under the plans, social housing tenants' benefits will reduce if their home has one or more spare bedrooms.
But charities have told the government that couples who could not share a bedroom because of a disability would be unfairly penalised.
Mr Duncan Smith said he understood the concerns.
He said he had has "already issued an instruction" to officials at the Department of Work and Pensions saying, "let's look at this again". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-21541400
