Its very typical of the Government to say it isn't connected due to cuts.
If l wasn't working, l would have to use one. My benefit would be £72.00 per week - and yes, l have checked
The Social take into account of what my son gets. If he went for another benefit - he has been told by the Social that he will lose his benefit totally.
Food banks - you need a voucher from the Social Service's to get the Food Bank stuff.
My son lost 50% of his benefit. He cannot work, as he has to be 'shadowed' either by my wife who is 24 our carer or him at £60.00 per week. Or myself.

Was your son sanctioned ?
The report's lead author, Dr Rachel Loopstra, said: "(Our) findings show clear evidence of sanctions being linked to economic hardship and hunger, as we see a close relationship between sanctioning rates and rates of food bank usage across local authorities in the UK."
again I suggest you didn't read the article
