Then there's no real reason not to find out by stopping their benefits.

IMO completely cutting off benefits is too harsh. Tapering off where the more kids they have, the less money they get for the "extra" ones. Just as happens with Child Benefit. There also needs to be a look at how he benefits cap is applied. By all means exclude disability benefits from being considered as income, but don't exclude ALL benefits and tax credits received on the basis of one person receiving DLA/PIP.
