    Isn’t the concern that “Those that need them still” won’t get them? There is a HUGE amount of unclaimed benefits in this country. Many old people can’t cope with the level of tech you need to apply (you can’t just phone up or pop into a benefits centre in most parts of uk).

      I get your point, but that is a principle that shouldn’t be applied. You could use the same logic to give anyone any benefit, just incase.

        How is that a counter argument?

        “Sure you have a point, but I’m not going to listen to it because I don’t want to”
