In 1972 there were 15,500 on sickness and invalid benefits (pop 2.9 million). Today there are around 125,000. If there is one thing that is needed to curtail the constant growth in sickness and invalid benefits it is tightening eligibility.
Just announced, as of September 24th people will be able to qualify for either of these benefits with a certificate from their GP. Go figure.
