Can you please investigate this for us, as we have three qualified teachers in our family who do not recognise this figure?

Hi, Tim.
So I got in touch with Jeremy Hunt and his office, offered to sit down, discuss it over a flat white.
That is a deep cut, Nathan.
One for the aficionados, Tim.
No, I emailed them and they sent me a detailed breakdown of how they came up with these figures.
It certainly was.
Quick definition here, the National Living Wage, Jeremy Hunt talks about, is the official name for what we generally call the minimum wage for those 21 and over.
But now for the benefits.
These figures that he cites are for two hypothetical individuals who are both claiming three benefits – housing benefit, universal credit and personal independence payments –
Now we'll come back to these benefits later, but let's start with the numbers attached to them.
So one of these individuals lives in Newcastle.
They're the £31,000 example.
The other lives in London.
They're the £46,000 one.
That difference between the two figures is because you get more housing benefit in London than in Newcastle.
OK, makes sense.
Let's focus on London for now.
Jeremy Hunt's claim is that if you live in London and are on these three benefits, you'll be earning £46,000.
