‘Army of Shirkers!’ Furious Andrew Pierce slams sickness benefits scroungers. Up to a million sickness and disability benefit claimants are to be ordered to seek work. Unveiled by Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride tonight, the blitz is aimed at slashing the £26billion welfare budget. An estimated 2.5 million incapacity claimants are deemed unable to work and languish on handouts. But ministers believe this total could be cut by hundreds of thousands if those excused work because of mobility or anxiety problems are told to look for employment. They also hope the shake-up will plug gaps in the labour market and boost the economy. Official surveys suggest that up to half a million people on sickness benefits want a job and are keen to receive help. Those deemed capable of work could have their benefits docked if they refuse to cooperate.
