the under occupancy rule is already in place for private housing so if she gets housing benefit they will only pay for the bedrooms she needs

There is no such thing as "Bedroom Tax"
It is a cut in housing benefit, if you are under occupying.

Thanks for the correction. I always thought the term "bedroom tax" to be emotive, like "poll tax". It's always good, if you want to have a go at government to work the word "tax" in. As far as the current situation is concerned, I see no reason why anyone in public housing should be in a better position than someone with low income, so getting housing benefit, who happens to have a private landlord.

Taylor4898, your wrong.
A tax is a compulsory contribution to state revenue, levied by the government against a citizen’s person, property or activity, to support government policies. So the ‘state underoccupation subsidy’ – a phrase only coined within the last few months and a measure that will only come into force in April – is a tax, as it is levied against property occupied by citizens of the UK to support government policies.

Splitting hairs comes to mind here but the "bedroom tax" is not a tax it is a reduction of a subsidy.People are not being made to pay extra for anything by way of this change so it is not a tax.
