"Get me back to Belgravia"
This U.K. Daily Mail story, by Neil Sears and Ben Spencer gives insight as to how the U.K. entitlement system has gone astray:
"A mother of six who had to leave a £4,000-a-month townhouse in Belgravia when housing benefit rules changed is fighting to be rehoused in the exclusive area.
Stephanie Demouh and her children had lived for around three years in a £2million four-bedroom house near Sloane Square.
The estimated £1,200-a-week rent for the three-storey home – which has a garage in an area where a parking space can change hands for more than £100,000 – is believed to have been covered almost entirely by housing benefit."
