The government are attempting to limit the amount of benefits any one family can get to £26,000.00, the average income for a family.
It's going before the House of Lords today, though it might face rejection, as it's opposed by some Lib Dem peers, and the majority of bishops.
A few examples of people who benefit, from benefits not being capped.
'The single household, revelling in a mansion in London’s smart St John’s Wood district, received a massive £2,050 a week in Housing Benefit.'

'A family of former asylum-seekers from Somalia are living in a £2.1million luxury townhouse in one of Britain's most exclusive addresses at a cost to taxpayers of £8,000 a month.'
'Abdi and Sayruq Nur and their seven children moved into their three-storey property in a fashionable area of London last month because they didn't like the 'poorer' part of the city they were living in.'

Personally I hope the law will be changed, despite the interference of the bishops and the Lib Dem peers.
Why should ordinary, hard-working families pay to subsidise those families who choose to live in expensive areas, with exorbitant rents?
If Somali asylum seeker Mr Nur still had his job on the buses, no way could he fund his present life-style himself.
Why should everyone else have to pay?
It's high time the state made people realise that you cut your coat according to your cloth.
If you don't like the coat you're freely given, sod off...and try another country's shop.
