Welfare work rules to be tougher
Tougher sanctions are planned against
people claiming Incapacity Benefit who
refuse to take jobs, Work and Pensions
Secretary John Hutton has said.
Proposals for reforming the benefits
are due to be unveiled this month.
Mr Hutton told the Work Foundation the
new system would take a "something for
something" approach.
He said the reforms would include an
element of compulsion and said people
who were able, but refused, to return
to work could have their benefits cut.
