I heard today on the BBC Breakfast programme that after a year they assume 'you' receive a minimum wage from the endeavour.
Im guessing that the 'minimum wage' doesnt get subsidised with any benefit, otherwise it wouldnt be minimum it would be 'less than minimum' wouldnt it?
Why then dont they just say, you can have UC self employment help for a year then its all over you are on your own?

I knew a builder married with kids who claimed everything that was going.
I saw him once with his team replacing all the windows in a house. As far as I know they never caught him. |

By:
The reason they never caught him Dr C is because thousands are doing the same and they simply cannot keep an eye on everyone so they don't bother at all.
