How much is a jam sandwich and an apple? How much is the average benefits for someone with a child. Be realistic.

There was more poverty in the past than there is today. People lived in slums and worked from light to dark for a few pennies before the UK had a welfare system. People slept sitting up draped over a rope because it was a place to sleep and all they could afford. Little kids of 7 worked in factories. More poverty now than ever before. What planet are you on?
