  Part of the increase in the 'economically active' Howard - genuine claimants who meet the terms required in the 'all work' test are approved, what we are now seeing is a justified tightening of those rules.
  
  By the way - private income protection insurance uses the 'own occupation' test (the good policies anyway) which is better than the all-work test applied to incapacity benefit and, in fact, you can insure against not meeting the 'all work' test as well.... The government would be wise to allow tax relief on these to encourage take-up and restrict the long term incapacity only to those who are uninsurable or are existing genuine claimants.
