I just think its unrealistic, and completely ignores reality that it is not just easy to drop everything and move. It is also very unfair to the disabled.
Why can they not target the damn landlords charging extortionate rents?
It is not directly affecting me, but I do claim housing benefit and I work, and life is hard. I just feel like it makes it impossible to live with a 14-25% cut of your benefit.
Its not a tax, its a benefit cut. Say it as it is ... just another attempt to make people struggling to get by struggle even more!
