All spin, to claim long term incapacity benefit you have to pass tough medical assessments, you also have to have a work history to qualify as its a contribution based benefit.
People with no medical qualifications trying to claim they know if people are fit to work or not.
The reason behind this spin is to reduce the social welfare tax burden since job seekers allowance is less generous.
