The Department for Work and Pensions revealed the year-on-year rise as it emerged that one family has been given a record £279,000 of taxpayers' cash to pay their rent.
Information released under the Freedom of Information Act shows the claimants are being paid £2,875 a week for a seven-bedroom house in Brent, North-west London.

The family - which has received £208,000 since July 2008 - is one of three in the capital who have claimed more than £200,000 in housing benefit.
In November it was revealed that Somali-born Nasra Warsame and seven of her children were living in a £1.8million house in Westminster at a cost to taxpayers of £1,600 a week.

Her husband Bashir Aden and her eighth child were living in an 'overspill' property, also on housing benefit.

Unbelievable, although strangely I do believe.

What can we as an electorate do....nothing as far as I can see

Slightly off topic ! But, did anybody see Michael Winner's savaging of the pub lunch he had in Preston in last week's Sunday Times. Funny, but very very cruel ! I'm surpised one of his victims hasn't given him the baseball bat treatment.
