Nothing sounds wrong to me in any of the cases you mentioned?
> £400/month help with her bills because she struggles with time management? I'm sympathetic to her problems but that is a shit ton of money!
£4800/yr is a shit ton of money? Things must be pretty rough over there!
> Child benefit also goes to lots of people (myself included) who totally don't need it.
Is that a bad thing?

For the average person in the UK, it definitely is.
> £4800/yr is a shit ton of money
It's a shit ton of money for the government to just pay to people. I wasn't saying it's enough money to live on or anything. Obviously.
> Is that a bad thing?
The government is just a little short on money and they're wasting it by giving WFA and child benefit to people who definitely don't need it.
This should be obvious.
> for the government to just pay to people
Right, but they're not, because this isn't what's happening. There's a reason they're paying her. Otherwise you would be getting the money too, but you're not.
