Surely it should work like council tax in that if a person claims exemption they can only claim
If they can prove they have less than 18K in savings otherwise it’s fraudulent?

Sadly if there’s any loopholes - they will be exploited like the bounce back loans!

You're right! A few would find loopholes and exploit the system. So let's fixate on those few and keep the status quo. Ignore the millions that it would lift out of poverty. The millions that would lose the shame of living off benefits. The 10's of millions of ordinary folk that would get a lifestyle boost.
