Difficult one this because one size approach doesn't fit all. Everyone struggles with mental health sometimes, but some have debilitating conditions. For some of those people, work will be very helpful in helping them to manage their condition. For others, they are simply too unwell to hold down a regular job. It's absolutely case by case as with any disability. At the heart of it, I think a compassionate approach is needed rather than a blame one. Let's also remember that even if some people are deceptively using the system, compared to all the corrupt fat cats in government and finance, how much are they really taking? Is it really fair to punish those who genuinely need help because some others are abusing the system? I'd prefer them to close corruption routes for the super rich.
