I didn't realise housing benefit was included in the benefit cap, so the higher your housing costs the less you will get in other benefits

That's this Government. The more you need the less you get, the less you need the more you get

Our local radio station had a bit about this today. There is never any acknowledgement from politicians that there are people who would love to work, but can't due to illness or caring responsibilities. I could have had a lovely job and a lovely life if I had put mum and son in a home!

Yes I agree there, all they go on about is people on benefits that don't want to work. I had to pack in my brilliant funeral directors job when Mum had her stroke, I loved that job and now will find it hard to get back into if I ever could!
