• The Department for Work and Pensions says more than 80,000 people are claiming incapacity benefit due to alcoholism, drug addiction or obesity. More than a quarter of the 80,000 have not worked for a decade. Employment minister Chris Grayling said private and voluntary organisations had agreed to invest in treating addicts and preparing them for employment. The government will pay the organisations – but only when their clients return to work.
