]]>Will this government spending be subject to the same level of scrutiny as people applying for PIP and other disability assistance?
Surely a fairer place to start saving money would be to stop running the House of Commons Catering Services at a loss of £7m a year.
– Why is it that MPs should only pay £9 for a roast dinner when the average price for a London pub Roast is now £18-£20. Even the £9 price would be too much to pay for many people on disability benefits.
– Even the House of Commons vending machines run at a loss of nearly £100k per year.
Based on the above figures it would seem that MPs think it is OK for them to be subsidized but that those in society who are struggling should be penalised for needing some help.
]]>However, if a person loses disability benefits, these amounts will be removed from their finance assessments, so their care contributions will go down by however much they lose. The impact therefore may not be felt in the individuals care contributions, but will be felt by local authorities who are will lose millions in lost care contributions and have to pick up the bigger gap in cost.
