The issue seems to be more with Housing as this really is where much of the Benefit disagreement lies. Rather than coal face benefits for those who genuinely need it. Sadly there has been a lot of knee jerk reactions by the government fuelled by papers such as the Daily Fail. The disabled have been the hardest hit by such as ATOS. LHA takes no account of regional differences such as the proportion of social housing to private rentals & the corresponding lower LHA that results.
