SHAKE-UP TARGETS HOSPITALISED CRIMINALS
NOTTINGHAM attacks killer Valdo Calocane could be stopped from claiming benefits in a government change to stop "rewarding acts of violence".
The government is looking to close a loophole under which offenders detained in hospitals under a court order, like Calocane, could be paid more than £800 a month in Universal Credit.
It was reported in February 2024 that 34-year-old Calocane was entitled to claim up to £360 a month in Universal Credit while being held at the high-security Ashworth Hospital.
