A Sunday Express investigation has uncovered scores of cases in which people need charity handouts after being denied benefits because of administration errors and punitive sanctions.
As many as 580,000 cuts to benefit payments were made between October 2012 and June 2013, a six per cent rise on the same period a year earlier, before rules were toughened.
Employment Minister Esther McVey said the sanctions, or cuts to benefits are used only against those who were “wilfully rejecting support for no good reason”.
As someone who up till very recently cared full-time for a family member I can help you.
The gift I am about to suggest is very cheap, it may even be completely free.
You can’t wrap it, post or deliver it.
You can’t purchase it in any shop, market or even online.
Mock-up of Bishop of Norwich skydive

The Bishop of Norwich is no stranger to leaps of faith.
One performed thousands of feet in the air with someone strapped to your back is rather a different matter.
But that is what the Rt Revd Graham James is preparing for, to mark the 30th anniversary of Norfolk charity the Matthew Project, which supports people with drug and alcohol issues across the county.
He said: “Christians have often spoken about taking a ‘leap of faith’. I’m doing so in a tandem sky dive next May as patron of the Matthew Project.
“When I came to Norwich 14 years ago it was one of the first local organisations to ask me to become its patron.
