People should be treated on an individual basis, too many rules that are set in stone exclude many needy people imo.

I found this on BBC's Have Your Say, it doesn't seem a bad idea

Change to Household Tax. £12k for each property plus £4k for each of maximum 4 occupants.
Homes with several earners share the allowance. This would help single people, who still have to pay the same bills as multi-income households.
Homes on benefit would receive 40% of the tax allowance the home would receive if working, a REAL incentive to work.
This would replace ALL existing benefits

Just because a 'need' cannot be seen..doesn't mean it's not there.We should be treated as individuals not as a herd of cattle where one answer fits all.
