Dawn Lennon said she was now facing having to cut back on food in order to remain in her home.
A Merseyside woman must pay the bedroom tax on a room which has been converted into a sensory area for her severely disabled daughter.
Dawn Lennon faces finding more than £570 a year because the government has deemed the room to be spare.
But she said the room was vital for the care of Kelly Marie, 28, who is blind and unable to walk and talk.
It contains a ball pool and is also used to store Kelly Marie’s wheelchairs.
Mrs Lennon said she was now facing having to cut back on food in order to remain in her Liverpool Housing Trust bungalow.
Although she has been awarded a discretionary housing payment that should cover the shortfall for the start of the year, the future is uncertain.
