I dont actually get this at all. If working (assuming on minimum wage) she would still get all the child benefits, still get housing benefit(possibly a bit less than she gets now though, but would be covered by wage/WTC) and also get working tax credit.

All she would lose would be her income support/JSA. And that would be supplemented by her wages. She would be better off by working. As is everyone..besides disabled people who rightly get more benefits than others..
