I will assume that some members will say that it will get the scroungers off the system and back into work - BUT what about the people that have been put there by no fault of there own, and those are that age is against them, where some employers want to take on younger staff as they are cheaper. |
Is that the report where a woman with only 2 kids receives
more than £26,000/yr(£500/wk) in benefits. That is effectively an after tax figure, so the actual wage equivalent is higher. The report is of course very short on specifics, therefore we cannot judge the full picture(that's probably deliberate
). If single parents with just 2 children are routinely going to be affected by this, then wouldn't a lot more than 40,000 be affected?
