«Breaking News» Scrap the 'cruel' benefits cap for people who can't look for work due to having children

Four out of five households subject to the benefit cap should be removed from its scope as they cannot escape it, MPs have urged ministers.

The work and pensions select committee called on the Government to apply the limit on the total amount of benefits a person can get only to those who are expected to be looking for work.

It warned that only 18 per cent of those affected by the cap have been assessed by the Department for Work and Pensions as capable of looking for work. That means 82 per cent of households are deemed unable to escape the limit and so should be removed from it, they said.

Four out of five households subject to the benefit cap should be removed from its scope as they cannot escape it, MPs have urged ministers. Committee chairman Frank Field said: 'It would be difficult to think of a more cruel cut. Benefits are being cut with the aim of driving people into work, but four in five bearing this cut aren’t expected to work'

In a report on the benefit cap, the committee said: ‘The Government told Parliament the cap was meant for people who could work but were choosing not to.

‘But in fact the majority of people who are affected by the cap have been assessed by the DWP as not being required to look for work, usually because they are lone parents with young children or have an illness or disability.’

Committee chairman Frank Field said: ‘It would be difficult to think of a more cruel cut. Benefits are being cut with the aim of driving people into work, but four in five bearing this cut aren’t expected to work.’

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
