I appreciate this but let us be realistic. A PAYE worker can draw on his or her benefit and it is not means-tested. Very few PAYE workers would not receive a short-term payment for a few days off or illness benefit. If it comes to it and they are out long-term and must go onto jobseeker's allowance, I know they are means-tested but I am speaking about short-term problems.
