OM DENNE EPISODE

Addicts claiming disability benefits are paid lump sums worth thousands of pounds that they immediately spend on alcohol and drugs, experts say. Almost 18,000 people are claiming Pip with substance or alcohol abuse as their main disabling condition, meaning it is the most debilitating of potentially a number of health issues. Last year, the government spent an estimated £128m on Pip payments for people it categorised as having “substance misuse problems”.


Should restrictions be put in place on how people can spend benefits? If so, what would you restrict? Alcohol? Cigarettes? Petrie discusses this with Political Correspondent at The Sunday Times In Scotland, John Boothman, before getting your thoughts.
