    It is one of the big issues in the Benefit system, the administrators are incompetent and in some cases malicious.

    So despite its initial failure I suspect Universal credit system will help, Computers are better at this kind of thing and administrators are willing to blame the computer and help you fix it.


    The Trussell Trust - Statistics for finacial year 2012-2013

    look at the reason for the voucher issuing. It's scandalous.
    Most chairities in the UK primarily exist to provide an nice income for their managers and do political campaigning not to do charitable work

    How do we know the statistics don't fit the picture they want to represent and that no political bias has crept in ?

    All I hear are lefty bloggers quoting the trusseltrust, and that is enough to contaminate their message to me
    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

        combined with official figures I have personal experience (have been involved where some people have been affected) and anecdotal evidence.

        Much of it seems to be the due to a maze of rules and the default action being stop benefit.

              Lefty nonsense

              Benefits staff get threatened with disciplinary action if they don't sanction enough people.
