Apparently there's 90,000 Britons of working age in receipt of ESA who are too ill to work because they're drug or alcohol addicted. They are unemployed but not counted as such, and the benefit isn't time limited so there's no big stick waved to motivate them to sort themselves out. Effectively they're paid an income to remain in the same rut. Meanwhile there's people suffering debilitating non self-inflicted conditions which will never improve who are found fit for work and pointed towards their nearest JobCentre where staff are under pressure to issue sanctions and/or compel people to work for nothing.
