It might surprise you to learn 99% of people aren't on speaking terms with social services or on welfare.

However one in five people in Scotland are registered disabled to claim benefits, I'm sure that's legit.

Probably all 'generalised anxiety'. Another bullshit self diagnosis to avoid doing difficult tasks in the workplace.

It would surprise me. And yes, Scotland appears to be rather generous. I'd argue that the rise in benefits claims in the UK, noted here relates to increasing income inequality, Brexit and COVID. That said, 52% in the UK receive benefits?! I'd agree with any Tory who wants to reduce that number, though particularly while offering alternatives like job placement programs, free college tuition, and anything that puts some of those people back into the workforce.
