Devrait-il y avoir plus ou moins de restrictions sur les prestations d'aide sociale?

Looking for fraud in the benefit system should be confined to just that, not penalising everyone.

reform to be work driven

There's no easy answer to benefits. SOme people in dire need slip through the cracks, other learn to play the system. And sudden cut-off caps and limits discourage people from moving into the jobs market because a little improvement in wages leads to a huge cut in benefits

There should be much more scrutiny of claimants both deserving and undeserving.

Criteria for claiming should be reviewed and we have to create more jobs and jobs with a living wage

Benefits should be case based with greater one-to-one care and attention

minimum wage should be significantly increased (perhaps varying by job type) in return no benefits paid to workers but instead money paid to businesses as a per employee-on-mimimum-wage incentive. The incentives to a businesses would reduce as the businesses became more profitable.

Not all benefits should be targeted as they are being. Disability benefits in particular are being targeted too harshly.

Benefits should be no more than the minimum wage of a full time worker, and only in place for those who truly need it

Government should be doing more to relocate people with a desire to work and therefore reduce the overall burden of welfare on the rest of society.

Replace working income for those with genuine health issues which mean they cannot work (with signed doctor approval), otherwise more reform so it supplements a working income.

Loopholes should be closed but for those legitimately claiming it doesn't provide enough support, but should never replace a working income.

There are several issues that have been rolled up in this issue. Firstly it is not about how much is spent on welfare benefits it is about what those on welfare need to survive. Poor housing leads to poor health physical and mental - However the cost of housing bears no relationship to its quality. We need to build council houses in expensive areas with rents affordable to people of limited means; Given we may never be able to build enough such house the actual rent charged should be means dependent.
The government should not be subsidizing private Industry but insisting that pay their staff a living wage. This would reduce the benefits bill. However all children, no matter the size of their family should get support from the state to ensure that they are not impoverished
