It seems to me to be a little bit harsh and perhaps not all that well thoughtout.

I think you'll find its been carefully worked out.
The thinking is along the lines of:-
Cuts have to be made. Where can we make the cuts that will have minimum impact on votes for us at the next election?
After that, cutting housing benefit for those least able to afford it becomes a no brainer.
Don't forget we are all in it together!
Cynical? Moi?
