That seems a backward step. Mine goes straight to the Landlord, after all it's his money.
O.K. whatever is given to me in future will be paid to my Landlord, however I can see that some won't do that, causing problems for the the whole system, how is this going to be a better way?
The responsible on benefit will still be responsible, the irresponsible will spend the money forcing the Landlord to spend money on evictions and at the end of the day more money will end up being spent re-housing folk that will continue to be irresponsible.
