For most there will be a disability claim involved - some will have a genuine reason that they can't work, others will be full on fraudulent but I think it's going a bit far to call it a "large" minority. However - yes - there does appear to be a "secret formula" that allows fraudulent claims to be made but the answer to that is NOT subjecting everyone to more tests, more scrutiny and more sanctions. Because the people who are doing it have been doing it for years and are
experts at getting around these sorts of things, so the ONLY people who are being impacted by this regime of "shaming" and punitive measures, are genuine claimants. The people scamming the system will just find new ways to scam the system.
