Incapacity benefits: Nearly 2 MILLION sickness claimants are fit to work

Incapacity benefits: Nearly 2 MILLION sickness claimants are fit to work | Mail Online: "two million people who have been living on sickness benefits for years may be perfectly fit to work, official test results show. The first reassessments of those on long-term incapacity benefit found that more than two-thirds of those checked could return to work if they received help. Trial re-tests of claimants in Burnley and Aberdeen found 68.6 per cent did not have a valid claim and were unable to prove they were too ill to take a job."
