Government accused over 'shabby' pensions move - Pensions, Money - The Independent

Seems the chancellor has become somewhat of a magician he gives pension rises that are not worth the paper they're written on

[accyman]

rises in most benefits are not worth the paper they are written on because whatever the govenment gives you extra councils take off you by paying less of your rent and making you pay more of your council tax because you got extra income.

teh idea of somone on teh sick getting more money than somone on income support or jobseekers is so that they can afford prescriptions and dental treatment but councils take this money away from sick people and penalise them through teh rent and council tax system and i dare say their system is as biased against somone witha pension too
