ALT Quote from IFS Senior Research Economist Eduin Latimer: "The rise in the number of people on disability benefits is a key motivation for the government’s upcoming Green Paper. A range of evidence suggests that mental health across the population has worsened, and – consistent with this – more than half of the rise in disability benefit caseload comes from claims for mental health and behavioural conditions. As well as obviously bad news on their own terms, mental health problems may also be contributing to the rising benefits bill."
