BENEFITS claimants who \u201cchoose to coast\u201d face losing their hand-outs under a radical shake-up, Jeremy Hunt has warned.<\/p>\n
The Chancellor vows fit and able Brits who refuse to take up work will be hit with financial sanctions like – refusing to let taxpayers being taken for a ride.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mr Hunt insists there must be fairness for hard-working taxpayers and anyone shirking employment must face the consequences.<\/p>\n
The tough new plan comes ahead of next Wednesday\u2019s Autumn Statement as part of a major back to work drive with a record high 2.6 million people long-term sick.<\/p>\n
Mr Hunt said: \u201cWe\u2019re serious about growing our economy and that means we must address the rise in people who aren\u2019t looking for work \u2013 especially because we know so many of them want to and with almost a million vacancies in the jobs market the opportunities are there.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese changes mean there\u2019s help and support for everyone \u2013 but for those who refuse it, there are consequences too. Anyone choosing to coast on the hard work of taxpayers will lose their benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sanctions will see the worst-offending claimants lose parts of their benefits.<\/p>\n
