UK welfare spending will total around £300bn this year. Of this, £124bn funds state pensions, with £87bn for Universal Credit which is usually either an in-work benefit or contains a commitment to seek full-time work. £39.2bn is forecast to be spent on disability benefits. https://obr.uk/forecasts-in-depth/tax-by-tax-spend-by-spend/welfare-spending-disability-benefits/
