if they made a poor family better off by £10 per week at the next budget they would be screwed out of £15 per week

like i said whatever they loose will be clawed back by eithe rincresing a tax or creating a new tax

closing tax loopholes would gain some of the loss but this is a government that takes people who owe millions in tax to lunch at our expense and beggs them to pay at least some of the money they owe instead of sending in the bailiffs
