Why (if not presumably for your own party political gain) would you spread mistruths like that? It just increases anxiety for people.
You keep implying that I am lying.
You've completely ignored my point that people on contributions based benefits get the total sum of ZERO extra per year.
What good is £650 a year if your annual energy bills have doubled?
In my house, my monthly energy bill will be somewhere around £200 per month this coming winter, I actually think it is likely to be a lot more as this is the calculation BEFORE the October price increase.
Let's say for argument's sake that it's £250 per month, and that's being reasonable.
That is already double what I was paying last year!

Now, let's say an extra £125 per month compared to last year.
If I was in receipt of UC and could get the £650, that would still be WAY short of the extra £1500 per year extra I am paying!

It's not rocket science is it? Just simple maths.
The fact cats lose nothing, the poor lose a lot.
It's not lies and I don't appreciate being called a liar by a blatant dyed in the wool Tory that will attempt desperately to defend the quite frankly inexcusable no matter what.
