They aren't "significant poverty-related benefits", a lot of the benefits that make you eligible are in-work benefits or from having children. That is why most people don't claim, most of these people have jobs and have no problem paying another £10/month and don't want to go through the admin (or restrictions, I think some of the plans have restrictions).
You are bang on about property costs. You notice how instant action has been taken by regulators to blame telecoms companies. Where is the action on planning regulations? Trying to reduce bills through this route really makes no sense.
- clnq 3y agoYes, I oversimplified the significant poverty-related benefits part. Also, when I said “significant”, I meant “not insubstantial”. I don’t mean benefits for those severely affected by poverty. And “poverty-related” to my mind includes “poverty-reducing”. Probably it could have been phrased better seeing that it wasn’t clear what I wanted to say.
- skippyboxedhero 3y agoI don't think it is a strange thing to say, it is a strange system to have certainly.
