Reason for rocketing invalid benefit numbers
Here James Bartholomew briefly puts his theory about the reason so many people are on an invalidity benefit in the UK. NZ has the same problem. My reckoning is that the higher payment rate is a factor but there are others.
Another incentive is that there is no obligation to work when on this benefit - the unemployment and sickness benfit are work-tested.
