    HB pays lots of people who are working. It's actually got no rules at all about the number of hours worked (except for allowing higher income disregards for over 16hrs / over 30 hrs).
    Perhaps you should stop posting benefit advice that is not based on the rules of the benefit you are claiming to give advice on?
