  1. no difference to the scroungers.

  2. Same thing, different name.

  3. No it is all one and the same really.

  4. They are two different organisations, so yes.

  5. Housing benefit is a benefit paid out by local councils to those on a low income or on other benefits(see below) and is to cover rental costs – now usually called local housing allowance ( LHA)

    The DSS ( department of social security) is now known as DWP ( department of work and pensions) and they are the people that pay out the various benefits to the unemployed, sick, disabled etc – eg JSA, Income support, ESA, DLA, Attendance allowance , carers allowance etc etc
