If you’re willing to live on a rather low budget and spend a bunch of energy gaming the system, yes, but that low of an income tends to stress most people out (especially since the system is known to do “fun” stuff like noticing that your insurance company compensated you for your bike getting stolen, and then count the insurance claim as income to be directly subtracted from your welfare payments).
Similarly, as rsaarelm mentioned, if you do anything that the system might consider “work” (sometimes including stuff like volunteering at an event for no pay), you might be denied your payments.
