“According to official government forecasts published last week, the number of working-aged people on incapacity benefits will rise from 2.5 million in 2019/2020 to 4.2 million in 2029/2030. Last financial year, that figure was 3.3 million.”
These rises in sickness claims have already been attributed by analysts to likely ‘long vaccine’ and/or ‘long covid’ and/or post-lockdown effects. With one sweep they are to be put in the ‘benefit fraud’ category. Of course even those sick from 2021 that have not registered mental health issues (and that contribute greatly to the post-vaccine surge in PIP claims, that Wall St analyst Ed Dowd called a ‘Black Swan’ statistical event) are swept along with the big brush.

I wish someone would crack down on fraudulent government claims and fake journalism that fails to ask the most obvious questions.
“(paraphrase)…We will treat everyone with respect, though at the same we might declare people to be frauds and loot their bank accounts without a legal process. We’re going to start by giving these NEETs a respectful, pejorative name for Heilers to throw around, as CHAV’s has done its work.
Then we’re going to blame them for all the effects of our own disastrous policies, and get ourselves off the hook”

Crackdown on Benefits Cheats
The secretary of state’s comments came as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer promised to reform the benefits system and crack down on fraudsters who abuse it.
Writing in the Mail on Sunday, Starmer said, “We will get to grips with the bulging benefits bill blighting our society.”
He continued: “We will crack down hard on anyone who tries to game the system, to tackle fraud so we can take cash straight from the banks of fraudsters. There will be a zero-tolerance approach to these criminals.”
However, the prime minister said that he would not “call people shirkers or go down the road of division,” rather, “Treating people with dignity and respect.”
The prime minister said that reforms would join up different services to create a holistic approach to getting people back into work.
This involves revamping the role of job centres to better assist people in reentering the workforce, advancing the “youth guarantee” to ensure that every young person is either working or learning, and providing targeted funding to local governments to integrate health, skills, and employment support services.
1 Million NEETs
Kendall continued to outline the government’s plans, telling Phillips that health problems holding back jobseekers will be tackled by the work being undertaken by Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Wes Streeting, who is overseeing the government’s 10-year plan to reform the NHS.
Streeting has also said previously that “top” doctors will be deployed to areas of the country with high numbers of people signed off sick to treat more people and cut waiting lists.

The work and pensions secretary said on Sunday that there were nearly a million young people who are not in education, employment, or training—commonly referred to as NEETs—and that while that was in part owing to young people not having enough qualifications, that high figure was “often driven by mental health problems.”
“The overwhelming issue we face today is people out of work due to long term health problems. And the major problem with our current system is it does not join up work and health support,” she said.
