What are your experiences of work requirements?

I do not currently have work requirements as I claim legacy benefits, but am concerned about when the change comes to move over to UC how this is going to affect my family on both a financial and mental health situation. As far as parents and carers are concerned I do not believe that they should have the hours increased as this is going to put a lot of strain on those that are trying to bring up or care for people in difficult circumstances. This is already full time work, having extra restrictions will not benefit children or those needing care, but take away valuable time that parents and carers can spend bringing up their children in the best possible way so they can achieve the best possible outcome for their own future.
