Also there are two very different types of benefit claimants.
More than 80% of benefit claimants are aged over 35.
As a benefit claimant, I support the choice these workers are making to strike.
So there are substantial numbers of benefits claimants who fall into that category?
Duncan Smith said benefit claimants "must take responsibility for themselves" and their families.
The poor (and remember we're reffering to benefits claimants here) aren't having their money taken away.
Now it's 34,500 benefit claimants will be chasing just 23000 low-cost houses.
A Labour government would also penalise benefits claimants who refused to look for work, he said.
The maximum total weeks of benefits claimants may qualify for remains up to 99 weeks.
(Even though as I pointed out benefit claimants are also voters.)
