    I find this hard to believe, more exagerated scare stories to sell newspapers?

  • From the link, again I keep hearing about this total benefit cap of £480 per week.

    "Family size also affects the scale of the reduction in income, not least because of plans to put a £25,000 cap on the total value of benefits that can be paid to any family, regardless of size."

    But in London housing benefit and council tax benefit will make up most of that £480 per week?


    When are these cuts coming in? What will this do to the property market especially in London?
