SIR – The Government’s decision to remove housing benefit and jobseeker allowance from under-25s is both cold and callous.
The cruelty doesn’t stop there, either.
Soldiers serving on the front line in Afghanistan are worried that Government cutbacks in the armed forces will leave some of them homeless at Christmas.
A national newspaper revealed earlier this year how up to 9,000 soldiers have been left homeless after leaving the military and account for one in ten rough sleepers in Britain.
This Government has no dignity.
