Comment on Hunt warns of benefit cuts for people who won’t ‘actively look for work’
Mchugho@lemmy.world 11 months agoIt depends how many people claiming sick you think are actually unable to work. It benefits both the claimants and government to fudge the statistics to make it seem like the long term unemployed are receiving sickness benefits.

You claimed that it’s millions. Can you show any evidence? I mean, you even claimed the other commenter knows you are right with that.

Like I said before it really depends how many of the people claiming to be sick actually are unable to work. If you truly believe all of them it doesn’t look like many,but from experience I know there are plenty of people claiming sick who are able to work.

Your link doesn’t say anything about millions of people abusing the system. Did you even read it yourself?

Like I said, if you truly believe every single one of those people are actually so sick they are unable to hold down any kind of work there is literally nothing I can do or say to change your mind.
