The model selected maybe problematic. A) There are additional benefits for helping to pay rent which are income dependent. B) There are special circumstantial increases to benefits replaced by basic income, that state has to pay inorder to fill its constitutional equality requirements. For instance increases in unemployment for dependent children, expenditures for education program participation for unemployed... Now testsubjects get them by applying for them. Whats potential problem is what it takes to LOOSE them, its a risk factor on every action to earn temporarily, or taking a risky move to try to start a business. Latter causes also a high risk at the end of experiment, unless you have folded it long before end of experiment.
