    I don’t understand how this can happen through them losing £300 when the triple lock is set to increase by ~£700 this year.

      Costs in genral have gone uk by way more then 700 a year.

      For those renting Rent alone will be higher the. That. And housing benifit etc is means tested the same way this is now.

      That said. As I have said elaewhere in the thread.

      If this payment is the dif between life and death. Then this is clearly not the issue. But the level of means testing. And media history of negativity to claiming benifits is.
