Watson: Benefit increases don't match pace of inflation
Living standards on the Isle of Man could fall despite the increase in some benefits.
That's the view of Douglas councillor Devon Watson.
He says a rise in the amount people receive in government support does not match the pace of inflation.
You can find more details about the benefit increases, announced as part of this year's Budget, HERE.
Mr Watson fears this could lead to more widespread poverty on the Island:
