“Even more stringent benefit cuts are on the cards.” “Ministers are planning billions in cuts to disability benefits.” “the House of Lords economic affairs committee said this might not be enough.”
FFS just legalise euthanasia already. I’d rather get a quick injection than starve to death out on the streets. Even the Nazis were kinder to the disabled, gassing them to death quickly.
Rent is covered by Housing Benefit, which is a separate benefit to the PIP payments (disability).
that makes sense. there is a similar scheme in ireland but hardly anybody gets to avail of it so it’s mostly regular welfare and disability payments getting funneled to the landlords.
The whole thing is a byzantine mess to navigate. When it’s properly applied for it’s paid directly to landlord though.
Ideally I’d want every single one of these benefits thrown out, along with the entire infrastructure that exists to manage them (costs a lot) and replace it all with one single payment that everyone can get regardless of circumstances.
