QUOTE:
''We want to ensure that people are encouraged to take jobs of only a few hours
a week if this is all that is possible for them in the short term. To achieve this we will allow some groups to earn significantly more before their benefit starts to be withdrawn. The level of these earnings disregards will reflect the needs of different families to ensure that work pays.''
Which groups.. Why are some families treated differently?
I don't agree with this if one family is allowed to work with no sanction to benefit awarded then they all should.
