    I wish people would stop complaining about the WFA cuts. Those that need them still get them, and triple lock pensions are going up by an estimated £460.

    Even if they lose out on their £150, they’re still going to make a gain on £310.

      Isn’t the concern that “Those that need them still” won’t get them? There is a HUGE amount of unclaimed benefits in this country. Many old people can’t cope with the level of tech you need to apply (you can’t just phone up or pop into a benefits centre in most parts of uk).

        I get your point, but that is a principle that shouldn’t be applied. You could use the same logic to give anyone any benefit, just incase.
