Light touch getting heavy touch?

I said that the one who is earning £1k-odd is correctly in light-touch.
If the other one is not being asked to look for work, it will be due to other reasons. Perhaps because they are the main carer for a young child, or a different reason.

What if the couple are both able to work but just like old times one decides to be a house wife or house husband?

`This question was covered in great detail in a previous thread of yours over several pages. It was eventually closed. Though it was last year, the answers will be the same. Thread here.https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6458185/new-uc-rules-this-september/p1

Maybe just focus on what is being asked of you and your partner and don't worry about anyone else's situation.  You say you need to be earning more 'to get UC off your back', and you know why because it's all been explained to you.  So just focus your energy and brainpower on doing what you have to do.

If R200 pit as much effort into working, as he does to avoiding it ....
He'd probably be a millionaire

What are the light touch requirements please?

it seems some do qualify for light touch but are still having work search requirements imposed.

has there been any changes announced 

this needs to be challenged they are going against the rules

I understand that light touch now has work search requirements, to increase their hours.  Not sure that they are going against any rules.

There's been a lot in the press about needing people to work more due to not enough tax revenues to support all those not working. I fully expect things will get a lot heavier.

So you are saying there has been a change?
