[QUOTE="binky, post: 527273, member: 490"] You are allowed to top up benefits with 16 hours of work, and not lose any money. Once you go over 16 hours, just about every penny you earn is deducted from the benefits, so effectively you are working for nothing. So that's why it's hard to get people to work more hours. It does totally miss the point that no one should be reliant on benefits in the first place, but with rents being so high it's difficult for those on minimum wages to earn enough money to live.
