  • QUOTE: … many thousands had applied for the GMI and there was bound to be a small percentage of cheats among them.

    … Now that the state has no cash to throw around, the authorities have introduced means-testing, drafting a long list of criteria that applicants need to satisfy before they receive benefits. This is the sensible approach to welfare policy, the objective of which is to offer help to people on low or no income. Those with assets worth hundreds of thousands and no income, quite rightly, would not be eligible for welfare.

    The minister said that there was now a system in place and applicants’ bank accounts and property holdings were being checked before an application for GMI was approved; it was the main reason for the delay in the processing of applications.
