I am not suggesting it should be left as it is. If the payment was increased and made allowable in respect of increased FIS thresholds, that would capture those who are struggling on low pay. The Department indicated to the committee two years ago that it would try to reduce the number of payments into a single working-age payment as it did not want to have additional add-ons. We are now discussing an additional payment and all that goes with that, including means testing.
