DLA 12billion - apparently unaffordable - cut for working age, pensioners and ex armed forces excluded
ESA 4.8 billion still been targeted for more cuts is less than 10% of pension budget
JSA I think similar to ESA just under 5 billion - (picture is heavily compressed) - targeted very heavily for cuts especially for under 25s
There is of course budgets such as housing benefits which are a complete minefield as its split across all age groups as well as many full time employed people, and a lot of housing benefit expenditure goes into private landlord pockets as well.

Bimey you really got it in for pensioners ain't ya
You do realise that a lot of these hateful private landlords are using their property to fund their retirement so they aren't so reliant on state benefits.I suppose every shop from Tesco to the local corner shop should be dragged through the mud as well for daring to make a profit off the backs of the unemployed and disabled
