When you look at the amount of benefit to people who live abroad it mounts up.
Housing benefit,council tax benefit, cold weather payments..all for an empty home.
Then there is the DLA/pip payments,along with carers allowance..
Why should people be able to claim in the Uk, and live abroad?
Don,t worry on this grosly unfair new benefits system, pensioners are more protected than pandas, as pensioners are usually voters. This government,don,t want to lose the Grey vote.
Working aged People are being forced to pay 20% of their council tax bill, lose 14% of their housing benefit for having an extra bedroom that they had when the kids were home. This is all out of £52-£71 per week, for food,lighting,heating,clothing.
Anyone, that is putting any more pressure on this already overstretched benefits system needs needs bringing to task, whether they live here or abroad, or are from here or abroad.
