Sorry if this has already been posted.
But i feel everyone on Benefits should know about this.
People who have been stripped of benefits could be charged by the government for trying to appeal against the decision to an independent judge.

Critics said the proposal, contained in an internal Department for Work and Pensions document leaked to the Guardian, would hit some of the poorest people in Britain, who have been left with little or no income.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS REALLY !!!!

I think there is a lot of opposition to this proposal.
Benefit claimants would be the least likely in society to have the means to pay to go to a tribunal when their benefit is stopped or refused.

Just to be clear, this news report is from February 2014, so nobody needs to worry about it.
