With just a few months to go before the next election the government is facing criticism for its use of means testing.

The government has used means testing in a bid to ensure that benefits go to those people who need them the most.

But critics claim this puts undue pressure on vulnerable people.

Older people for example can be left with forms to fill out meaning they don't end up getting what they are entitled to.

Every year millions of pounds worth of benefits go uncollected.
