Politicians 'Don't Understand' Benefit Claimants, Charity Says

Current debates over social security are ‘failing ordinary families’, a leading children’s charity has said. Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) have launched a campaign called ‘People Like Us’ aimed at challenging politician’s views of benefit claimants. The campaign is based on polls by YouGov which suggest the public do not think the coalition understands the concerns of people on low and middle incomes.  The poll also shows the majority of the British public believe the benefits system would not provide them the support they would personally need if they needed help.  Find out more on the People Like Us page on the CPAG website.
