Where do you get the figure of "94% who couldn't move" from .It seems to me that you are assuming that everyone affected by the benefit reduction will want to move or even need to move .Some will make savings in their household budget to avoid moving and also don't forget that a lot of people in receipt of HB are working so may a more flexible budget to work with .
