We fund it with the extra revenue that a larger population generates.

This is very interesting. I like the idea but have a few questions from an initial read.

The thing I can think of is regional disparities. Should London get extra because of the high housing costs etc?

What about pensions?

It also might be too easy for governments to keep increasing (particularly around election time!)

Comes down to the intention and how it is applied. If the cost of applying a targeted benefit is so high that given that benefit to everyone is cheaper than it seems sensible, but otherwise potentially you are just giving £6700 away to people who don't really need it.
A house share in South Norwood comes in at £100 so £130 a week would not really give me the freedom for additional study/further education or voluntary work to improve my long term career prospects.
Currently a lot of money from welfare is badly targeted, the main culprit being housing benefits which is largely use to inflate a housing and in particular the rental sector. It might give people more say in how that money was spent but pulling the plug on this would have huge financial consequences to the wider economy.
If you set it at higher enough level to genuinely give people that freedom you are then talking about a re distributive tax so why not just target those that need it, or other measures reducing good quality social housing reduce tuition fess, apprenticeship etc.

Sounds interesting though might need to look more into the rational

Crazy idea to me.

Welfare is for the needy. It should never go to the able.

Agree. It's a social engineering proposal. Would have all sorts of negative implications.

I think the idea is that you also receive the income as well - I like the idea in theory but I don't see it working in practice unless you can force companies to contribute their fair share.
