Opinions of the benefit cap?

What are everyone’s thoughts on the benefit cap and do you think there should be more exceptions? Is it too high? Too low?
Really curious what everyone thinks about it and hoping for a discussion.
I’m currently capped and everyone I speak to seems to agree with the cap and thinks it’s a good thing just wondering if anyone is opposed?

Hello @woodbine and thank you for the warm welcome!I reckon most people feel their opinion on legislation makes no difference at all, I know I do! I still find it interesting to hear people’s thoughts.
I wouldn’t say I’m against the benefit cap completely but I do think it should be set in a way that doesn’t include rent/housing costs.
We can’t help how much rent is, if that makes sense?I’m not sure what better system there would be though.
being honest I’m not totally sure I understand the reason it was introduced in the first place ?0 -
I think whichever way it is not everyone wants to work the cap will probably cause more problems for incentive to work wages need to be higher everyone who works should be on a decent liveing wage not a minimum wage and tax should be lower
Maybe then we might get somewhere1 -
Of course the DWP objective of benefit cap has nothing to do with saving money and oppression of the vulnerables..... that is what DWP wants us to believe0
