Reality Check: Fraser Nelson exposes Britain's welfare pipeline

Reality Check: Fraser Nelson exposes Britain's welfare pipeline

Is Britain’s welfare state still a safety net or has it become a pipeline for long-term dependency? Almost one in ten six-year-olds are now categorised as disabled through the benefits system and, on current trends, that figure would rise to one in four 16-year-olds.

Reality Check’s Michael Simmons speaks to The Times's Fraser Nelson – former editor of this parish – about his investigation into Britain’s welfare system: why mental health and behavioural claims among children have surged, how disability benefits can follow young people into adulthood and why the system can leave people financially worse off for working.

Can Britain break the welfare ‘pipeline’ and what would real reform look like?
