If there is a legitimate job there then advertise it properly. If it is a proper job then pay the going rate for it.
Neither you nor I have the right to tell someone that they have to do a menial task to get benefits, particularly those who have paid large amounts when employed.
There are so many reasons why your idea would not work. I dont have the time to explain why.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

I don't know the area you are talking about, but if it's typical of most places in the country, most of those flats will be in private ownership right now, thanks to the wonderful Tory Right-to-buy scheme which meant the council housing stock was sold off for bargain prices and local authorities were banned from reinvesting the cash made into new stock.
Many people in these cheaper, ex-council stock are really 'menial' - you know, like nurses, teachers, firemen... people who contribute far more to society/the human race than you or I. Why should they then not have Sky TV - is that the privledge of the middle classes? (incidently, you aren't one of these - if you work for a living, if you aren't independently wealthy, you are working class, although most try to deny it).
Because I want to work for a living and don't want to live in a council house. I have pride.Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.Comment

A few weeks ago I read of a boy that had just left school and was getting 90 quid a week in benefits while living with his parents. He was interviewed and said that he had no wish to work at the moment as he was having too much fun with his mates.
Even JSA only pays 64 quid a week, so how in heaven's name he gets 90 quid beggars belief when he has paid no tax whatsoever in his life.
My opinion is that the whole benefits system is absolute garbage. No wonder HMG are losing us a billion pounds every two days.
