People who are on long-term sickness benefit need to take action. Nearly 500,000 long-term sick will have to find jobs or they will lose a third of their welfare payment. Nowadays, 2.1 million people receive incapacity benefits, which has cost the taxpayer £ 135 billion over the past ten years. The cut by the UK-Government is estimated to save up £ 4 billion, which is only a fourth of the economies the administration must find from Iain Duncan Smith’s welfare budget by 2014-15.
