Millennium politicians like to say that getting benefits, housing and support is too easy for too many people.
 
Au contraire.
 
In this episode, Niki talks about the ways that trying to get that help takes over your life.
 
Niki has a young autistic son, a tiny, rented one-bedroom flat for her family's four members (the landlord wants to raise the rent) and an almost full-time (unpaid) job wrangling the benefits and housing systems for support.
 
Easy it is not.
