The Manx Labour Party says it's opposed to the government's means testing plans.
In a statement, the party says it's not a fair way of allocating social security and other benefits.
It also says social security is crucial and helps those most in need in Manx society.
Richard Halsall says means testing targets those least available to defend themselves:
