From recent memory. 3.6m successfully claim pip. So 2.5 % of population.
But retired or under 18s are not pip elegable DLA still applied there. So above 5% of working population is more likely.
But most PIP claimsents are working. Often because PIP helps covers the every day cost of adaptions they need to live and travel independently. Holding a job down without it would be hard for all but the high paid. And even for them. These benefits reduce the cost to society of being 100% accessable. So removing them is a false economy. Many will need greater support without it. Leading to higher costs for the NHS and other (mainly council run) services.
As we saw very very clearly when the Tories did the same thing creating PIP to make claims for DLA harder for working age adults.
