Maybe if they did work for minimum wage then they could lose the right for other benefits like housing benefits etc so could be worse off. So there is also a chance that working for benefits could also be worth more than working for minimum wage. Too many variables to give a one size fits all answer.

I don't believe that people should work for nothing, maybe a full time job at the end of it but we all know that'll be exploited. And again working full time on minimum wage some could be a lot worse off so a no win situation, who would sign up for that?

It seems some people just want claimants to be punished no matter what the outcome.
