MONDAY'S front-page story about the so-called bedroom tax and its effect on disabled people has caused outcry among readers.
We revealed that more than 170 homes lived in by disabled people in Derby were affected, despite those properties being adapted to meet their needs.
Our story also revealed that, if tenants did want to move out, there were only nine modified properties available to them in the city.
Readers of the Derby Telegraph took to our Facebook page to speak of their anger.
Liza Grice said: "I completely agree with the "bedroom tax", for people who are long-term unemployed through choice.
"People with disabilities need their houses and, as a society we have a responsibility to help them."
John Simpson added: "This tax is as flawed as the infamous Window Tax introduced in the 17th century.
"It hurts the most vulnerable people in our society who are caught in a trap where they cannot comply with the law because there is not enough one-bedroomed housing stock for them to move into.
"Why shouldn't they have one extra bedroom? It's not as if they're living in mansions."
