What i can't understand is why they can't just have JS claimants having the 1% cap .While i am very vocal about benefits and sometimes come across as unsympathetic i do appreciate that in some cases living on benefits is a forced lifestyle for some and should not be subject to a cap ,some benefits must rise with inflation
