Duncan Smith wins benefits cap battle: Rises limited to 1% as MPs vote to tackle massive welfare bill |
What happen to the cost of living minimum? The benefits go up in April and should have been based on figures from the previous September. Currently, a single guy gets £65 to feed, cloth and heat the home.
This means that for the next three years on a 1% rise, the figures will be £67 £68 and £69 roughly. Heating alone rises by 10% every year now, never mind food and clothing.
All this will do is increase the crime figures for theft and muggings..
