Eviction Letters - being sent out due to benefit cap

Valli

This is a link to a blog

might interest people to know that some tenants of some housing associations are being issued with eviction notices due to HB cap/ in anticipation of HB cap being applied in other areas.

And.........??? They are in temporary accommodation funded by the LA. If that accommodation becomes cost ineffective and more economically viable options are available, of course the LA will seek to mitigate the impact on the public purse (and temporary housing budget).

But no tenant will be left without accommodation as a result of these actions.

and where will they go?

They are in temporary HA accomodation because there isn't another option NOW.

They will be provided with alternative temporary accommodation (unless the lease can be re-negotiated).

The strange thing about things like this is that hard working NHS staff have been loosing their homes in and around London for years due to having to take on the maximum mortgage they could afford to get a home big. Enough for their family whilst still being able to afford to commute to work.

It may I retest you to know that a huge number of HCP's, Nurses, Paramedics etc in London actually take home less than the Benefit Cap.

I personally don't see why somebody should be allowed to live in an expensive Central London location when those with jobs have to spend two or three hours a day commuting into London, these people tend to be on 12 hour shifts aswell.

The reason I moved out to Essex was purely financial initially.

Why should only working people have to make such money based decisions because they feel the need to contribute to society and pay their own way.

I heard a conversation the other day from a benefit claimant where he lamented the fact that people would now be getting a fortnightly PIP instead of the current arrangement. He said..what will they do,how will they manage? they will just get all the money,think they have won the pools and spend it all.

I could not understand this and pointed out that i too get paid only its once a month and i dont go out and blow it all. They would have to learn to budget or be evicted/have utilities cut off etc etc...lazy gits want their backsides wiping all the time..

What nonsense. Firstly PIP hasn't come in yet, and when it does come in, it will replace DLA.... which is paid fortnightly anyway, so no change there. As for being lazy gits, you do realise that DLA/PIP is paid only to the most disabled of benefit claimants, some of whom do in fact need their backsides wiping for them.

Well said Daisy ma'am. Those are the kind of people the contributers do not mind paying for.

However, there is one wily old bird who has recently posted she has lost her ESA. But just a min, her dad is a little CA goldmine.

Of course, as usual. The rest of the benefit board scrounger clique are all leaping to her defence. They better be quick. Worse is to come.

TBF, you don't need to be that disabled to get the low rate of DLA, although I believe that's changing with the introduction of PIP.

DLA is paid 4 weekly not fortnightly
