Lies, damn lies and DWP benefit cap claims



The DWP has knowingly been telling lies to the public about the overall benefit cap.  The benefit cap is set at 20% BELOW the average household income and not at the same level which the coalition has repeated claimed.

Wednesday this week saw day one of the scheduled three day judicial review hearing against the lawfulness of the coalition governments overall benefit cap set at £500 per week for families and £350 per week for single persons.
