Definition of lifestyle choice to sit on out of work benefits
Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
I would like to know:
1. What definition does the Department of Work and Pensions use to determine whether someone has "made the lifestyle choice" to "sit on out-of-work benefits"?
2. Who is responsible for deciding whether or not someone has made the lifestyle choice to sit on out-of-work benefits?
3. How many people are currently "making the lifestyle choice to sit on out-of-work benefits"?
4. How long does the Department estimate it will take to ensure that the money will not be there to fund this "lifestyle choice"?
Yours faithfully,
Don Paskini
