GOV does not allow them to work... they want to enrage voters; letting them work and in doing so reduce the burden on the State would lose them votes; no point in doing that if you are a politician.
Same reason there is such a backlog in processing claims; if people were not annoyed about all the migrants in hotels, they might focus on and get upset by the mismanagement of the economy by the current GOV. The backlog is an election asset, unfortunately.
