Yes! Extra Care housing is generally exempt from the bedroom tax.
In most cases, it’s classed as “specified accommodation” because it provides care and support alongside housing, so the under-occupation rules don’t apply.

That said, classification can vary by local authority and provider, so it’s always worth double-checking with the council or housing association managing the scheme.
