Seemingly not now about saving money, just retribution for some unfathomable reason. Most pensioners could afford £1 per item but the cost and nightmare of collection rule that out? I think that all mp's deserve a raise to compensate in some small way for their care and compassion towards society? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's by far the biggest reason for people claiming the benefit. And bone idle civil servants working from home aren't even carrying out the proper checks. Only two percent of claims get a face to face assessment. It's a free for all, word gets round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
