We are paying too much in benefits (to some people).
My wife's mother and father lived in a low rent home all their life as they knew the owner (it was a poor house in a poor area of Birmingham).
When my wife's father died her mother moved into a "care home" run by a local charity.
Every so often the care home arranged for a benefit assessor to come in and see if anyone was entitled to benefits.
They found that my wife's mother was entltled to £7,000 in benefits she had not claimed in the past.
So she got the £7,000 but as she was living in the care home she did not need any money so she gave it away, she shared it our amongst her 3 children (my wife and my wife's brother and sister).
