Social security net available to people at different stages
The benefits system on the Isle of Man 'doesn't encourage idleness'.
That's the view of one MHK who is a member of the Treasury with responsibility for the Social Security Division.
Appearing on this afternoon's Mannin Line programme (Thursday), Sarah Maltby was asked if the current system encourages people not to work.
In response, Mrs Maltby says the social security net can be made available to people at different stages in their life:
Mountain Road to stay closed overnight
Horse Tramway business case 'under final review'
BMA finds less than a quarter of doctors recommend working at Manx Care
Thirteen people entered or tried to enter the Island without immigration permission since January 2025
Abuse towards bus drivers 'will not be tolerated'
