not getting involved in her case. but..

The whole system is wrong, minimum wage is a joke and employers are allowed to twist the rules to suit and the most vunerable people who are desperate for a job are taken advantage of in a great deal of cases.
Take for instance the care of the elderly....
most front line jobs in this sector are minimum wage (in fact most actually less by the time you actually factor in use of your own vehicle and fuel in the cases of care at home). These jobs generally should be for people with some form of qualification in health care, not just the cheapest possible option which allows "care" agencies to employ the desperate and make them work huge hours for ridiculous pay.
Its not the only area where regulations are a joke and this happens in .

And it isn't just the "unqualified" who get caught like this.

Certain three letters after disabilities?

Little bit of an expansion - things like disability/unable to work/others are tested, not just thrown in with the main one.

Understand now - your original post reads to me as the 'super' benefit will include disability and thus stop after 10 years. Apologies for misunderstanding.

Inability to work for whatever reason should be rigorously tested - and retested regularly for non-permanent conditions.

Should have made it clearer to start with really.


I think it's a great idea - anybody living off the benefit will be constantly wishing they had more money, so they will go out and work for it.

After all, it isn't like somebody would cut off a leg to get more benefits, is it?



Far more encouragement to work this way, and I suspect it will be a lot easier to administrate, bringing down costs to do it.
