Conclusion
We have received a range of concerns regarding the limitations of the pilot and there are also considerable issues concerning how the pilot will affect the benefits of the participants. It is crucial that those considering participating are aware of how it will affect the benefits they receive and the tax they pay. Without this, they are unable to make an informed decision about whether to participate. (Paragraph 152) 46 The Benefits System in Wales
