It does not matter about the increases. Still I am angry about benefit cuts.

I just can't help feeling like this...

I will be rich! I can retire! Well, better than we thought we would get.

DLA HRM will now be £54.05 per week.

A little bit cheeky, the government said that we'd get a 5.2% increase.

£51.40 x 1.052 = £54.07 (rounded to nearest penny).

Not a massive difference but as they say, every penny counts...

..Saving the government £1.04 per year for every HRM award, it's estimated that there are 2 million people on HRM, so a grand saving of £2.08M for the government.

[Stepheninleeds]

I did not notice that. It will add up over the years.

[MUD]

add up even more when the PIP's take affect in 2013

[Stepheninleeds]

Yes, it will. More for them & less for us. We are all into together, we keep being told this. Cammy even said the other day the rich have lost much more than we have. Of course, he forgets to say they are still rich, we are not.
