@JuliaHB1 ?? It says quite clearly the hours requirement for a couple is 24 hours, doesn't it?
@StrongerInNos yes, but you can't pretend it's reasonable to assume that most or all of those non-working adults are disabled. That's absurd

@StrongerInNos So@JuliaHB1 has admitted you were right, and article's assertion was "unsubstantiated" (at best). Progress.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@JuliaHB1@StrongerInNos@jdportes Or are there stats here I'm missing looking at non-working adults in couples with no kids? -
@Roborovski1@StrongerInNos No,@JuliaHB1 got it wrong. Didn't realise stats mostly don't identify disability status of non-working partner -
@jdportes@StrongerInNos@JuliaHB1 I see - so it's an assertion based on "common sense" rather than any actual hard evidence? -
@Roborovski1@StrongerInNos@JuliaHB1 No, it's an assertion (an error) based on a simple misreading of the stats, which she should correct. -
@StrongerInNos@Roborovski1 No doubt@JuliaHB1 will apologise gracefully (to you, at least!) and admit her error...

@JuliaHB1 I don't for a moment! Just contesting that they're all workshy scroungers with no real barriers to work. -
@StrongerInNos if large numbers of the non-working adults are disabled, do you think those detailed stats might have chosen to mention that? -
@JuliaHB1@StrongerInNos How/why would they know? Not eligible to claim disability credit unless very severely disabled.

@JuliaHB1@StrongerInNos Rubbish. Its reasonable to assume >19% are EA2010 disabled. As this is a poverty cohort it could be >60%, as in SH.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@JuliaHB1@StrongerInNos@jdportes Aren't stats referring to no. of disabled adults who *work* > 16hrs/wk? https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/430535/cwtc_Finalised_annual_awards_2013-14.xlsm … (Tab 22)Thanks.
