Very few people will be receiving disability benefits for depression and anxiety alone.

When your wage won't pay the rent and council tax because you're not entitled to benefits but disability benefits will, guess what choice people make where possible.

Yet another issue the government needs to get a grip of....like all the others.

Rural areas especially mine in the north east used to also have additional jobs such as mining, ship building, etc giving people work but once the EU came into being all those industries started to disappear. Now even our agricultural sector is under fire because of so-called climate change. If the powers that be want to change the climate they should stop all of the weather modification thru are constantly doing thanks to the US patents for weather modification. By altering the weather they are affecting nature forcing climate change. Stop building more cities, start encouraging rural areas. Stop these weather modifying chemtrails and allow nature to work naturally.

To be fair I can understand the mind set, when money is given away to illegals and migrants who come for our benefits I can understand why people think why bother working and pay tax at record levels. Also benefits are just given away with such ease so why not get on the band wagon? It’s free money for the lazy paid for by hard working taxpayers.

People have been scamming them for decades, I work full time but a lot of my family scam them, they're proud of it too, it's ridiculous

Doctors are to blame for handing these sick notes if they are really I'll then they should come under a consultants .

Are we all sure the claimants aren't coming from abroad!

They are sick of not being able to afford a home. Their is no point in working if you cant afford a place to stay and that is the point that everyone is missing.

We are passing through times when such debates mean nothing. What have you achieved by discussing PPE scandals, illegal immigration, woke policing, criticising London Mayor, energy companies profits, contracts to Tories mates, benefits, Grooming gangs, Hamas etc. Answer is NOTHING! You guys should do meaningful jobs.

What if like me you are ill living with Cronic pain and on medications etc. And i never asked for Extra Money i just automatically got it because i was found not fit for work. Im happy getting a basic income like a person on JSA but for the DWP to recognise my illness and leave me the fk alone! Instead of keep harrassing me causing with untold stress and worry and putting me through a corrupted system. In order to deny me help. I just want to be left alone i dont care if i get the same basic pay as a person on job seekers. My condition is never going to suddenly improve or dissapear its only going to get worse as time goes on. The disks in my neck are crumbling away.

The overall truth is that they are indeed genuine people who have illnesses preventing them from working. There are also people who pretend to have illnesses that prevent them from working. It's about protecting those who have genuine illnesses and clamping down on those who pretend.

The real unemployment level is much higher than what they are telling you. If you are on a zero hour contract, you are not counted as unemployed, even if you have no work. Also if you are on minimum wage, and you have work for say only 6 days, you are not counted as unemployed for the remaining three weeks of the month. Don't let the Conservatives CON you into believing there is low unemployment.

With the majority of themcoming from France illegally

I moved here in 2007, and I have noticed this has been going the entire time I have been here... Nothing new..

Shocker! Who would have thought?

As someone who does not claim benefits, I currently have, a spinal cord injury, stage 4 kidney disease, a potiential lung cancer, a potiential rare lung disease called amyloidosis, I am 65 being made to work to 66 YET I STILL WORK, admitedy I work in the public sector, a private employer could not take me. I am very concerned that especially young people equate a crappy life with depression, if you are a single mum, in a high storey flat, with three different baby daddies, your life is hard, but that's your choice. The housing situation does not help I know a former collegue a single man in his forties, who lived with his mother in a council house, the mother died, and he told the doctor he was depressed, but he told me he wasn't, that allowed him to claim benefits and ore importantly keep the house.

I'm a double amputate , my feet. I could probably work if I can get past the constant pain I have that hounds me. I sleep only by sheer exhausting. I worked 40 years previously.

when you get thousands every month coming here to be put in 4 star hotels and money for life you would want to see a doctor if you want to pay tax to look after them

Have you tried getting incapacity benefits or Pip as it's known. I have severe chronic fatigue. Was working full time, had to reduce my hours, then ended up working from home. Part-time, but my condition got so severe that I could no longer do that. I have tried to get PIP 4 times. Each time I got declined. You have to jump through so many harsh hoops. Yet I can barely do anything. Finally, last year, I was awarded the full lot. I disagree with everything these people say.

It's not surprising that following the past few years more people have metal health issues. Combine that with the lack of available support, of course there are more claimants.

Why is it specifically a British problem.

We’re aware these things are important but feels like our trade work comes second…… and so does the level of work The last ten years have changed employment conditions and people are really feeling that they are just living to work. Where’s living a life gone?

I feel the issue is that there is really not much different in what people can claim and what they can earn. Going to be work should be attractive and rewarded. Where you generally can't physically work that is what should be covered in full. Then it should be scaled with either community work or part-time work.

Terminally ill applied for PIP twice and got knocked back on both occasions I need a carer cannot afford private Asked local council for help told need to be on PIP, pulling my hair out at this stage Told by a friend apply for PIP again but this time go doctors claim mental health issues I was told this would help 100% with PIP claim I said not doing that I'm not mental It's not about the money I just need a carer

I live in a row of four houses, all couples all on benefits. Directly across the road, the same type of houses in a row of four are all on benefits. I am the only one working out of those eight. It makes my blood boil most days when returning from a hard day's work. Nothing whatsoever wrong with them.
