I simply pointed out that @JuliaHB1's tweet above is flat wrong. See https://www.gov.uk/working-tax-credit/eligibility … & she's too embarrassed to correct it..
@StrongerInNos ps. Feel free to check the stats yourself. I provide document info in the article. Google the doc and read it yourself!

@JuliaHB1 1/2 I have a good knowledge of the stats. Nothing can be inferred about the general able-bodiedness of non-working partners. -
@StrongerInNos The stats break down by any household member (adult or child) claiming disability, sickness. These stats are for able-bodied. -
@JuliaHB1@jdportes@StrongerInNos Are they? Because not claiming a benefit isnt evidence. Many dont claim because its a cruel process. -
@Hossylass@JuliaHB1@StrongerInNos is correct. The non-working partner could be disabled (& indeed claiming eg lower rate DLA,, I think) -
@jdportes@Hossylass@StrongerInNos stats show 126k disabled claiming WTC, with 175k disabled children, a tiny fraction of total claimants -
@JuliaHB1@Hossylass But@StrongerInNos is correct, isn't he? Doesn't tell you non-working partner isn't disabled. -
@jdportes@Hossylass@StrongerInNos but it does tell you that the vast majority of the non-working partners are not, doesn't it? -
@JuliaHB1@Hossylass@StrongerInNos No. It doesn't. You're misunderstanding the rules again. Partner could be disabled & not be in stats.
