Anyway benefits are suppose to be enough to live on.
Except if you live in an expensive area of the country they never were.
If you don't have family to help you out you were and are screwed. (There was a long thread on here during the banking collapse illustrating this.)
When the government brought in Universal Credit the idea was to force people back into work who were work shy.
However as most people under pension age who receive help from the state are working, all it did was make the state subsidiary to their employers less and the claimants suffer."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

The thing people forget is that a lot of people can't budget correctly and can't cope with the change and extra cost that a week of providing additional lunches (and often breakfasts) costs.
And yes it may not be much money but if you don't have a car and can't access a cheap supermarket it's more expensive than you might think.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Simple, just tax Sky TV, all people who watch Sky are lazy sponging scroungers on benefits. Give that money to all schools, my two are at private but say the quality of food is atrocious, even the wraps! - I would like state help to sort that out.Comment
