Re: Benefit cap goes before the Lords.
Imagine a person has been earning £100,000p.a. for years, contributing roughly £50,000 a year in tax. Through no fault of their own they are made redundant. Because of the benefit cap they would have to move house, change schools for their kids and generally uproot to an area where it is more difficult to travel to/get a new job. Thus reducing the chances of them getting a new job within days/weeks/months and off benefits.
Don't presume that everyone who receives benefits hasn't contributed to it fully and when they need it should be entitled to it.
