The govt refuses to do impact assessments of the proposed cuts to benefits because they're focused on getting people in to work (I doubt there has been an assessment on the liklihood of it succeeding either or whether getting into work gets you off means tested benefits or out of poverty).

Something no one mentions is if you get a minimum wage job you have to claim Universal Credit on top. Work is only a way out of poverty if its a well paid job. Work is not reliably a way out of poverty.
