It doesn't. The safeguards for vulnerable people that I referred to related to Supplementary Benefit/Income Support/JSA.
No safeguards for said client groups have been mooted at all for this proposal to bar young people from claiming Housing Benefit- that's my concern.

It's seems handy to be able spout rubbish like this
" Incidentally, it has been leaked that the DWP are believed to have done their own investigations and found that approx 500 people have died/committed suicide as a result of their policies and ways of working."
and not have to back it up because it is privileged information that only you have access to 
As has been explained before and you agreed the point ,there must be a line drawn ,where would you draw it ? who would you stop helping given a limited budget ? |
If you don't yet understand how offensive your remarks/attitude about depressed and suicidal people are; there is little hope.
Let's take Hugh's post as an example. Hugh actually disagreed about the numbers of people that have lost their lives due to the changes to the welfare state; however he started his post with a recognition that however many people had died, it was a terrible state of affairs.
Therein lies the difference, you clearly have no empathy or decency towards those affected by this issue. Do a quick search of your own posts if you require affirmation of this.
I do think that in some ways that the benefits system needs reform and that it is costing too much. I don't think that this is the way forward though, alternatives were presented to the Government during the period of consultation by myself and others.
I am not able or willing to disclose further details about the legal action that various organisations may take against the DWP as this could prejudice the outcome. If in your mind this equates to "making stuff up", then so be it.
