There’s lots of money to be made from being disabled – your money, taxpayers’ money, as it happens.
And it is far easier to be disabled these days than ever was the case.

Actually it's not. People who are disabled and can't work are broke and very poor. Plus being limited sure isn't fun.
If you´re truly disabled then you won´t live large, just like you said. There´s only money in it if you claim you´re disabled and can´t work even though you have a job, or at least some other income.
I work 50%, that´s my limit, and I earn less than what you get if you´re unemployed. So there are no cadillacs in it for me, just a rusty old bike.
There are jerks who take advantage of the system, but that doesn´t justify starting a witch-hunt against people who already have it rough.
All of my money goes to a care company who look after me. I only get £30 a week when you take the care money away. I would hardly call that living in luxury! I too only have a rusty bike. The care home has a car but the back door is hanging off!
