Disabled to wait for benefits - National Breaking News - Breaking News 24/7 - NEWS.com.au: "DISABLED and sole parent jobseekers with savings will have to wait an average of more than two months for their benefits from next July, welfare advocates say.
In a new twist in the debate surrounding the Government's controversial welfare-to-work package, the National Welfare Rights Network (NWRN) has discovered people will lose a week's worth of benefits for every $1000 over $2500 they have in savings."
Comment
Isn't it good to know that the Governments reward for those who heeded it's advice to save for the future is to take it back.
