With all the political & social lies and rhetoric about the cost of benefits in Northern Town’s such as Oldham which always targets the single unemployed with complete responsibility for all the woes of society we thought it was about time the true scale & cost’s of benefits in Oldham were identified along with the recipients. As you can see job seekers allowance does not make the top 5 list of benefit costs but for comparison purposes the cost in 2013/14 was £21.4 million.
(Note: tax credit figures do not include single people without children because figures are not published due to the average payment being less than £40 per year)
