The reason why they're apparently well off is that they're funding their lifestyles via debt and topping it up with welfare payments. They've been shopping their story round the papers for a while now to try and get more money to pay off their credit card and loan debts.
More to the point, stories like this shouldn't prompt you to say that the welfare state should be cut back in any way. The minimum wage should be increased to the point where it becomes preferable to be in work as opposed to out of it or, ideally, we'd have a national living wage rather than a minimum wage.

Just out of interest, who pays for the minimum wage?
What about companies that can barely stay afloat due to being heavily taxed by the government, foreign competition undercutting them etc etc.
This issue goes further than the dss payments.
Import duty will cure all, we've lost all our manufacturing, lots of companies now manufacture abroad then import back in, high import duty would discourage this.
