£65bn in sickness benefits across 3.2m people is about £20k each a year

Lots on the news today about the cuts, and it’s an easy target but whilst it needs reform why does nobody ever break it down to average per person a year.

In context, living on £20k with a disability is something most people would argue is difficult and people should be supported to do that. What realistically can be cut unless underlying health services are improved to get people physically and mentally fit when their illness is temporary? How will reform improve the situation?
