Surely that's not a bad thing ?
I wouldn’t link raising benefits by the cost of living (inflation) with the inability/ability of the DWP, HMRC or law enforcement to successfully prosecute criminal activity by other actors, no. Neither would I link it to their success at getting long term claimants off benefits. Again it’s an entirely separate issue, and not one the poorest in society should pay for in the manner suggested by others in the thread today.
