	Quote: Benefits payment problems – either administrative errors that can leave claimants without cash for weeks, or the temporary withdrawal of benefits as a result of sanctions –are a factor in the increase in demand for food aid, the report says.

Also I do not think that you are entitled to benefits for the first three days of unemployment either, cannot help the situation.

Re: Demand for food banks fuelled by poverty and benefit delays

very reminiscent of the recession of the 80's when another Tory Govt. was in power (1979-1990)
benefits cut in areas of destroyed industry and then every delay possible before payment of any benefits

Boris bikes were unavailable then. history has a way of repeating itself ...
