Work shy benefit claimants

The Disability Rights Commission is concerned that the Government's intended reforms to Incapacity Benefits risks labelling many claimants as "work shy". Out of the 2.7m claimants, 1m claimants want "to work again". That leaves us with "only" 1.7m work shy claimants. As the overall cost is £7bn a year, and benefits increase after six months and again after one year, no wonder many claimants become increasingly "work shy" over time. Why should Incapacity Benefit increase the longer you stay on it? It's hardly an incentive to find work!! Pensions don't increase over time in the same way.
