A number of submissions from both social and private landlords say that the government’s troubled and much-delayed flagship welfare reform, universal credit, which is meant to simplify the benefits system, has frequent system crashes and other glitches, causing delays in housing benefit payments.

Reply to the comment left by “KATHY MILLER” at “24/10/2015 – 10:55“:
Yet another good reason to not take Housing Benefit claimants.

For some reason the email link is taking us to page 207 of these comments. I wonder if we have been so loquacious that we have broken it? After I wrot that comment it again took me to p 207; I think it’s haunted!

At last one MP as admitted that its about raising tax and not about leveling the playing field.
So what are the thoughts on this
Why are just mortgaged landlords the target?
Why is GO ignoring all the parties which are telling him its a mistake?
Does he think the people that it will affect are not Torie voters?
Why does he think these measures will get him into No10?
He is out to milk us dry who will be next?
Does this government need to be overthrown?
Does GO want us to raise rents?
Will he bring in rent cap?

I have just seen on the news that Lord Newby is against the Tax Credits reduction…because…David Cameron stated before the election that he would not reduce the Tax Credits.
Lord Newby said that although the Lords would not normally vote against a financial motion, in this case it is different because the voters were not told, in the manifesto, that it would happen.
That surely is the same for Clause 24.
I will write to him this afternoon (assuming I can find his email address)

Hi Lisa. I’ve mentioned this to a few Labour MPs including the Shadow Minister for the Treasury – they don’t seem surprised. I’ve also told them that the IFS said it is ‘plain wrong’ just as the IFS statistics have been used against the tax credit cuts. It is definitely worth repeating this message continually to whoever we can – maybe someone will then pick up on it and it could snowball.

But do you know what the biggest state benefit is in the UK? State pensions.
In 2011-12 they cost £74.2bn. That is more than we spend on schools and five times what goes on universities.
