Lynette Hutson: Salvation Army Head of Social Services says lifting people of the benefit is easier said than done
The Salvation Army says lifting people off benefits and into jobs is easier said than done.
The Government's looking to change benefit legislation that would see income support rise only with the rate of inflation.
Under Labour benefits rose with wage growth each year, which generally rises faster than inflation.
Salvation Army Head of Social Services, Lynette Hutson told Mike Hosking that many people receiving them are without any transport or education.
She says it's a very simple answer to say get everyone a job and it will be okay ... it doesn't work like that.
