This is a really interesting analysis I stumbled across in a search for
something else.
P11 has this graph.
This is what the recent changes in the UK's state welfare system are
about: the government's aspirations to get lots of people off medical
benefits. Its costing too much. Their aspiration is to get 1 million
people off incapacity benefit in a decade. 40% of people on IB have a
diagnosis of mental illness so there's going to be a lot of people
forced back into work or put on non-medical benefits if they can't work.
