        For the people who genuinely need it that's great news! Unfortunately I think most of this will be spent on copious amounts of buckfast.

        A nice little windfall for some. There'll be even more people than usual with bad backs and depression packing out the all inclusive hotels in Tenerife this winter.

        Nobody cares about the sick and disabled, least of all the Tories. This was rather sneaked out, W&P Secretary Esther McVey was speaking in the house at the time but chose not to mention it...

        Is it not the case that paying full amounts of money owed was scrapped when Gordon Brown was PM? Only three months back payments maybe given

        The refund will be paid then benefits stopped as the claimant has undeclared savings. Also will the estate of people who have died receive the payment?

        Benefits arrears are not counted as capital for 52 weeks.

        And so it begins...is anyone remotely surprised? In the meantime, vulnerable people are literally dying because of the DWP's incompetence.
