Benefits families could pay off £1m mortgage

Almost 100 families are raking in enough housing benefit to fund a £1million mortgage, raising fresh doubts over the Government’s cap, figures released yesterday show.

Almost 100 families are raking in enough housing benefit to fund a £10 million mortgage, raising fresh doubts over the Government’s cap, figures released yesterday show.
Some 30 families are receiving £1,500 a week — three times what they would be earning on a national average wage — to pay their rent while another 60 are receiving up to £5,000 a month, according to the Department for Work and Pensions.
All the claimants, who would be able to fund a seven-figure mortgage at those rates, live in the London boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea or Westminster.
One critic said the figures showed that it was an “unfair” system that punished hard-earning families who could not always afford to live where they wished.
In total 130 families are given more than £1,000 a week,
including 80 who receive at least £1,100 a week, according to figures obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
This is in stark contrast to the majority of the near five million claimants, four in five of whom receive less than £100 a week.
Concerns over housing benefit deepened in 2010 when it emerged that a family of former asylum seekers from Somalia were getting £2,000 per week to live in a £2.1million home in Kensington. Abdi Nur, 42, an unemployed bus conductor, his wife Sayruq, 40, and their seven children moved after complaining their previous home had been in a “poor” part of the city.
Last year, another family who fled war-ravaged Somalia exchanged a modest home in Coventry for a £2million house in West Hampstead, north-west London. Saeed Khaliif, 49, who was unemployed, was able to sign what was believed to be a £2,000 a week lease for the six – bedroom property despite having no connection with their new area.
The Government announced last year that housing benefit, which currently costs the taxpayer £22billion every year, should be capped at £400 per week for any new applicants from last April.
Anyone in receipt of greater handouts prior to that date was given nine months to move to a cheap property or renegotiate rents to come under the cap.
But as of September, some 10,480 families were still being paid in excess of £400 a week for rent. It raises serious doubts as to how many will meet the transition deadline.
Emma Boon of the TaxPayers’ Alliance said: “This is further evidence that it is right to cap benefits. It is unfair to ask taxpayers to pay for swanky central London homes for others when they can’t afford to live in those postcodes themselves.
A DWP spokeswoman said: “These figures underline exactly why our Housing Benefit reforms are so necessary.”
Liam Byrne, the shadow work and pensions secretary, said the figures underlined the need for a benefits cap. But he said the fact that the highest claimants were in London showed the need for different caps in different parts of the country.
