More than 52,000 people are receiving Personal Independence Payment for “non-specific” back pain, according to analysis by the TaxPayers’ Alliance. Chief executive John O’Connell joins Peter Cardwell to discuss the sharp rise in claims and whether eligibility checks are stringent enough to prevent people from gaming the welfare system. They also examine Kemi Badenoch’s proposal to stop jobless benefit claimants spending welfare payments on alcohol, cigarettes and gambling—and whether such restrictions would be reasonable or practical. #benefits #pip #welfare Have you got a story?
