The UK has decided pay over 4.4 million Euros to two thousand people who are too fat to work ,to fifty who sufferers of acne and ten who are incapacitated by leprosy.
Billions of pounds is being paid in benefits to people claiming to be unable to work because they suffer from depression, stress, fatigue and unknown or unspecified diseases.
Frank Field, a former Social Security Minister, said that too many people were working the incapacity benefit system to avoid work.
“It is a racket, which governments have allowed to exist for far too long. I do not blame people for working the system, it is the job of politicians to stop them doing it.”
The number on incapacity benefit has more than triple since 1979.
