Is Disability the New Welfare? | RealClearPolitics:
"The government in Britain recently did something interesting.
It asked everyone receiving an "incapacity benefit" — a disability program slowly being phased out under new reforms — to submit to a medical test to confirm they were too disabled to work.
A third of recipients (878,000 people) didn't even bother and dropped out of the program rather than be examined.
Of those tested, more than half (55%) were found fit for work and a quarter were found fit for some work."
