  It should be the fiddling that is of prime concern. Phrases such as 'excesive generosity' can only come from those that have never tried to live on benefits, without fiddling. Food vouchers were tried and they do not work. I once stood in line behind a 'voucher customer' mid month and watched them piling chocolate and 'treats' into the trolly, more than I could afford, just to make up their shopping to the value of their voucher. Probably not their fault either as they would almost certainly have prefered to spend the value on clothes, services or some other 'luxury' not covered by benefits.
  It is not the difficulty of assessing disability that would be the problem but tying it into available work and then getting the firms to employ those particular people, without incurring greater expense by paying them to do so. There would be no saving in getting somebody off benefits if the payments were then going to companies to provide the employment.
