Even if everything had gone according to plan, claimaints would still be facing misery, hunger and eviction. Because this is, quite simply, what the scheme is designed to do: to re-draw the entire welfare benefits system in order to change unemployed people’s behaviour in ways amenable to the Tory party, using the need to ‘simplify’ the system as a smokescreen for attempts to discipline claimants.

 Not only the unemployed but virtually everyone else that needs benefit to survive.
It is a mean of mass control. A rough attempt to tether the burgeoning precariat.
