I think it was the wording. I think he read "restrict welfare payments to" as "limit welfare payments to", thinking you meant that only those who could work would get the payments. What I presume you meant was more akin to "reduce welfare payments to", meaning that if you are capable of working you should get less of a pay out. <br>
