  • On the one hand we have

    Man claims he needs benefit that he no longer gets

    And on the other we have no critical analysis or explanation of how the cap works and why £2.50 would reduce benefits by £500. Without this it sounds like “old man grumbles”.

    If this is true then its awful, but I would have hoped that a BBC article would provide a bit more context.

    If these people are really that bad off then we should just provide a better pension rather than fucking around with lots of tiny allowances. Either people dont have enough money and have to choose between heating and eating and we support them, or they don’t.

    I need some, any, context before I can understand this.
