Latest figures show there are now seven million people on Universal Credit in the UK, with 2.7 million signed off from working for health reasons, 2.2 million in employment and the rest either looking for a job or planning to go back to work in the near future. In Birmingham, which is the local authority area with the highest number of people on Universal Credit, there are 202,475 claimants, of whom 61,473 (30.4 per cent) are working and the remaining 141,004 (69.6 per cent) are not in employment.
So - it doesn't all go to pensioners then.
