Petition Individual benefits package not to be greater than minimum national wage

More details

No one person should have a benefits package including rent, council tax and other freebies greater than the total sum they would earn on minimum wage.

It is immoral that someone who does not work can claim more than someone making an active effort to work and pay there way.

If the minimum wage is not an adequate guide for benefits then it should be re-evaluated in parliament as not fit for purpose
