'Why should I go to work when my benefits are worth £70,000 a year?' Mother-of-three refuses to get a job because she is better off without one

The Daily Mail reports:

A mother-of-three says she is caught in a 'benefits package trap' equal to a salary of £70,000 a year. Divorcee Sharon Minkin says she cannot afford to work – because it would leave her worse off and her children would no longer qualify for free university places.

The great moments of the Welfare State.
