What I can't understand is these large figures paid out for rent.
While I am signing on my rent is being paid, because according to the authorities it is an average rent for the area I live in, now how do they define area?
Is it by street? by political ward? by town? or by the fact I live in a thoroughly depressed north west?
I know for example if I wanted to upsticks and move across town to be nearer to relatives and the rent was higher I would have to make up any higher rent from my benefits because it would have been my choice to move.
So how come a 'political asylum seeker', can move from a poor district of London, to a rather well off area, yet they get the full rent paid?
If I tried to move from here to Mayfair, the only way I could do it would be by getting a chance card in Monopoly, the powers that be would, quite rightly, refuse me the additional rent.
