How does somebody on 35 hours a week even on minimum wage need any input from a job centre?

They need to look for more work apparently..i think if you are working 35 hours a week you are okay..any less and claiming some benefits..inckuding housing benefit them you need to attend..to learn how to find more work. * +

Under UC workers on low incomes will be made to look for extra hours as a condition for receiving the benefit.
If they are earning less than the equivalent of the minimum wage at 35 hours a week they will be placed in one of the Labour market regimes,otherwise termed a work related activity group or conditiinality group. Claimants will be incentivused to secure more work by attending regular work focused interviews. * +

Seems fair. I remember chatting to a colleague in the 90s about hours, and she said she only did 16hrs because after that she pays tax and it affects her benefits.
Why should I prop-up people who don't wanna work full time? * +
