Why in England almost everyone is in benefits?

I know a lot of people that lives off benefits and I wonder how they do it? Not that I wanted to do it but people that have a back pain can even be classed as “disabled” and get benefits! I think is getting out of control

Because the economy, health care system and jobs are terrible right now and sometimes people don't have a choice

There will always be people abusing any system but it shouldn't ruin it for everyone who is genuinely in need of those systems

I’m not sure but I feel like it’s getting less common. Ive personally never known anyone on benefits, even when I was younger growing up in one of the most deprived areas of England. Obviously not included child tax credit (I think that’s its name) which every parent is entitled to. It’s there for the people that need it but I do think it needs to be monitored more to encourage those who no longer need it back into the workforce to make room for other. I know after the nhs it’s the largest chunk of my tax breakdown statement annually.
