Real benefits top-up figures for people earning at benefit cap levels. 

A lot of people have pointed out, with not much effect, that the benefits cap’s basis of average earnings is pretty meaningless as many people earning at that level will qualify for additional benefits as well.  What there hasn’t been, as far as I’m aware, is much by way of hard figures on those benefit levels.

I’ve put those sums through the new 2014 Future Benefits Model (FFBM) and generated a pile of tables and charts for different family type and rent levels.

Thanks for that Gareth

Useful amunition for when tackling the ‘Benefit Street’ attitude now held by just about every Jo Public I come across.
