WELFARE Hardship fund to be scrapped The Local Government Association wants Communities Secretary Eric Pickles to rethink his decision to axe the £347m emergency fund that helps vulnerable people in crisis. The Local Welfare Assistance Fund is due to be stopped in 2015/16. LGA chairman, Sir Merrick Cockell, said: This fund has been used by councils to provide crucial support to people facing personal crises in their lives, from help paying the rent to putting food on the table. It is extremely disappointing that Government has removed the funding for this safety net without first honouring its promise to discuss with councils what the consequence of such a move might be.” Daily Mirror, Page: 2 The Independent, Page: 7 Independent i, Page: 4 Wealthy benefits Conservative MP, Richard Benyon, allegedly received £625,000 in housing benefit payments from West Berkshire Council last year, according to the Mirror.
