Hmmmmm....
While I am sure that he is living in the UK on taxpayer funded benefits, I highly doubt the figure quoted. After all, there is a £26k a year cap on benefits (including DLA, JSA, Child benefit, Housing benefit etc) so where the extra £24k is coming from is a mystery... I smell a bit of tabloid sensationalism here...
EDIT: Also, average rents in Ravenscourt Park (where he apparently lives) are around £2,000 a month, which is £3k more a year than he can claim in benefits... Something doesn't add up...

He's growing weed to make up the shortfall. He has a basement doesn't he?
This is the worst of the Daily Mail unfortunately. Weak investigative journalism, in fact no journalism, just feed info into computer and it will draft a column for you.

The benefits cap doesn't apply to those receiving DLA. I personally know a family that does much better than £50k. Just throw in some 'disabled' children and you are laughing.
