Had a query about the lower limit for claimants in res care - any rationale for keeping it at £6k for UC when it’s £10k for other MTBs? Other than meanness?

I think it’s one of the 101 ways that the introduction of UC constituted a cut to social security.

Thanks Helen. Interesting and depressing.
