    It keeps bureaucrats in jobs & as a result you lost your job offer.

    There is no sense to it, but you are in the system & belong to them.

    However DWP decided to grill my new potential employer as to why they paid me cash, did not give payslips and basically wanted to know the ins and outs of their business.

    Due to this intrusion by DWP my offer of employment was withdrawn.

    The DWP was asking legitimate questions?
    Would the employer have felt that there was an "intrusion" if HMRC had started asking similar questions?
    It seems to me that the employer was taking out their frustration/failure in good practice on you?

    It is a bit crazy to report 'cash in hand' work to DWP though!
