Hi
It sounds simple doesn't it?
It is not quite as simple as that.
If you are in London or the South East or Bath etc and in a low paid job you would need a vast increase in pay to get off Benefits.
This apples to all those in the Public Sector as well as the Private Sector.
The NHS would find costs soaring, there are many low paid jobs in the NHS, Social Care costs would rocket.
Social care costs are paid out of Council Tax, so that rockets as well.
It is one big vicious circle.
