I genuinely don't remember the discussion. In any case there are many variables in many situations. Being entitled to benefits and receiving them are two different things. Receiving benefits and having the capacity to spend them appropriately are two different things...It goes on. Anyway, I am absolutely nothing to do with benefits or their distribution.

Life isn't perfect, never has been, and never will.
You only have to wait 9 years to find out; assuming they come in on time.
Worked directly in this for many years now, to me its more money direction than budget. People/staff who work with the most challenging and damaged children are frequently seen as bottom of the social service pile and not paid enough to attract enough young qualified people into the profession. Worrying age gap appearing. Many in the social work spectrum are paid far more but due to caseload are mainly office based and become distant from the real issues and behaviour
100% This.
A shocking piece of tinsel policy that attempts to make the government look caring.

i once tried to help an old school friend who had drifted into homelessness but it was mentally draining - his mother had dis-associated with him as she could not handle his schizophrenia (genuine). Despite his background i couldn't trust him with his own door key and despite allowing him regular access to have a bath he slowly deteriorated. As a working person i had my own family and responsibilities to deal with and couldnt offer him a permanent home.. I found out a couple of years ago that after 8 years on the street he had died from pneumonia and malnutrition Ironically, i think that this was partly due to him not being one of those so called lay-about beggars and who was too ashamed to beg and too much of a decent human being to steal.
I only hope that there are enough caring people about to plug the gap which the government has for too long failed to fill to ensure i never have to personally hear of another human dying like that again..
