The trial will cover anyone in receipt of a working-age payment. It is something, you are right, that applies across the board. There will be a mechanism in the trial for people who wish to have access to more than 20 per cent of their payment in cash. There will be local bodies that people can put that to. You are right: this will apply to anyone on a working-age payment.
