#Arrogantly #Government dismisses study linking use of #foodbanks to #benefit cuts - Research calls for changes to Britain’s increasingly threadbare #SocialSecurity system to stop people falling into #poverty At least half of all food bank users are referred because they are waiting for #benefits to be paid, because they have had benefits stopped for alleged breaches of Jobcentre Plus rules or because they have been hit by the bedroom tax or the removal of working tax credits, it finds. The study, the most extensive #research of its kind yet carried out in the UK, directly challenges 10 Downing Street’s repeated insistence that there is no link between its welfare reforms and the huge increases in charity food aid.
