16. There were economic considerations also |

Britain was running at near full-employment in the early part of the Blair years. They wanted people off incapacity and into work to squeeze a bit more growth and tax receipts out of the economy. Of course it proved to be wishful thinking, and they were rightfully exposed for trying to bully the disabled off benefits.
The current Tory attitude is more of the "let's set them free by kicking the (wheel)chair out from under them."
