[quote]It comes from our taxes,obviously, and none of us (i think) want our money to be used for things that are not needed, but you cant justify some cuts by saying that genuinely needy people will get more, if nobody else will have an increase in benefit. [/quote]

Benefit cost has ALWAYS increased - can you point to a time when it ever decreased ?
We cannot simply allow claims to increase year-on-year forever.

[quote]I think there must be other ways to save money than penalising people with extra bedrooms that they didn't want in the first place without giving them notice or an alternative?[/quote]

Everyone knew about this when it was first announced (2 years ago?)[/quote]

Oh i absolutely agree that the costs cant be allowed to rise, and we need cutbacks. It just seems rather a cruel way to do it. 
Two years sounds enough time, assuming there is spare housing, but there is not much chance of them saving up to move if they dont have enough for necessities. (and so the property wont be made available for families)
 
I cant argue about the finances,and you obviously know more than i do, but it seems that some people are suffering terribly because they dont have enough benefit to live on, while others are doing very nicely on the tax credits and child benefit. 
What do you think is the solution?   :)[/quote]

ITK is in the unique position of knowing the personal circumstances of every one of the millions of welfare recipients in the country. Are those two on the front cover shirkers?
