Or maybe you should apply and get approved of a rental apartment in the very centre of London, then they'll pay for it because "that's the amount we give for people wanting to live in 1 million pound apartments"

That story is ridiculous..

And you can bet on the other side of the coin, there are people out there who don't even qualify for ANY benefits because their 3rd cousin who they've never met earns over the 40,000 pound bracket and hence they should logically be helping and not the government...
