The recent rule change from 16 hours' work to get many of the benefits, to 24 hours' work to get many of the benefits has financially hammered several of my friends who cannot get 24 hours work a week, let alone a full 40.

Two other mates, close to pension age, were told that they could either drop from 40 hours to 22 hours per week (and no overtime) or be made redundant. Their employers are desperate to stay in business, but the banks won't help with their cashflows.
