    "IDS: One million claimants capable of work

    One million people who are capable of work are "stuck" on benefits, Iain Duncan Smith will disclose today. The Work and Pensions Secretary will release figures showing how many people are long-term claimants of unemployment benefit and other welfare payments. In an annual report on his Social Justice Strategy, Mr Duncan Smith will publish statistics showing "the scale of entrenched social breakdown that has taken hold across Britain over the last decade". Even though there are 400,000 fewer people out of work than a year ago, Mr Duncan Smith will say, there are still too many people with a long-term dependency on benefits. About one million people have been on work-related benefits for three out of the past four years. All of those claimants have been formally assessed as "capable of preparing for or looking for work," the report will say.
