Depends on what the benifits are,,,,,,,,DLA,Mobility Allowence,Rent Benifits,,,,Council Tax Benifits,,,,,,,,Child Benifits,,,,Careser Allowences,,,,,,these are all taken and added up into those 20.000.75.000 families,,,,,,,,so feasible,,,,,,

a family can net ££££'s a year in Benifits from a single DLA,or other Benifit paid to just one family,,,,,,,,,,,

That's 95,000 families better off than ours then...............and we both work, always have.

There seems to be something wrong with the benefit system if this is correct.

No-one should live in poverty, but I do sometimes think the balance is weighted against people like us who married, raised a family, got a mortgage and have always worked.

According to the Daily mail, 20,000 families receive more than £30,000 in benefits per annum
75,000 families get more than £25,000 a year.
Can that be right?
I know most of the arguments for AND against, but would be interested in the view of others.
Don,t get too hot under the collar.

Happy days
