In a new document on universal credit, published after parliament has broken up for Christmas, the department said people could “recoup the loss” caused by lower in-work benefits from April 2016 by taking on an extra three or four hours of work a week at the new “national living wage” of £7.20 an hour.'

It's utterly bewildering that they think you can just "work more hours" and get paid for them like it's a choice. You get a job with contracted hours... You get paid for those hours... Maybe get overtime if they NEED you to work more. Who can just stroll in and say "Hey I'm going to work an extra 4 hours a week so give me money please".
They are completely disconnected from the real world. Completely.
