It’s a very cunning plan. If you have more than a certain amount of savings then you are not eligible for benefits. Anyone who signs up for this immediately gets flagged for inspection anyway, but if your saving grow too high you have grassed yourself up.

Surely poor people don't have money to save? Isn't that the meaning of "poor"? Or is it just me.
Presuambly after having saved a certain amount of their benefits, they'll be told they're not eligible for benefits as they have too much money saved.

Free money! (As long as you don't work)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7292806.stm
A new national savings scheme for poor people will be launched across the UK from 2010, Chancellor Alistair Darling has announced in the Budget.
Many pointed to the financial incentive as the reason for saving. Top-up funding ranged from 20p to £1 for every £1 saved in the various pilot schemes.
People entitled to sign up will be those receiving working tax credits, child tax credits paid at the maximum rate, income support, jobseeker's allowance, incapacity benefit, employment and support allowance and severe disablement allowance.
More reason to stick on the benefits then. Why work and lose out on free money on top of your benefits cheque?Tags: None
