I know someone who works just under the allowance for housing benefit (16 hours?) despite being offered full time work. Why do you ask?

Me. There's an old geezer 50ish(?) who works exactly 16 hours a week. He won't do any overtime as it would cause him to lose his benefits. His rent (very lowly little place) is completely covered. I would do the same in his place (and at his age).

I know someone who works on this basis and I just wondered how common it was. Seems a bit...
