kind of like the idea but couldnt work as benefit money has to cover too many dif things. travel both public and cabs in emergency, clothing, as money is limited some may want to use cheaper options than superstores, ebay poundshops etc, haircuts, then there is the fact that we all use dif supermarkets etc, not everybody has a local tesco, not everybody uses same energy company... would be easier to clamp down on benefit frauds and make it harder for people to take advantage of the system.
