Anyone who thinks the DWP will limit its (new) powers to directly remove money owed from benefits claimants bank accounts, and apply to have them banned from driving for two years for 'repeatedly' refusing to repay DWP money, to those who are claiming benefits fraudulently, has not been paying attention...
How long before the first un-paid carer is banned from driving making their ability to offer care for a loved one impossible?
I give it weeks....

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 also many/most on benefits work and have families. Removing their ability to drive may remove their ability to get to or undertake their work or get their children to child care. So will they then be able to claim benefits now they are unemployed or will they, and their family, be left to starve to teach them a lesson?
@Beedazzled
likely the latter.... no better incentivisation to join the low-wage (gig) economy than starvation

In response to this post@ChrisMayLA6 driving 🙄 how are they going to threaten non-drivers? Would be neat if bad drivers got banned from driving but that's probably ableist to wish for.

I'm sure the DWP will have many other tricks up its (collective) sleeve
