There are 2.6 million on IB, you're only a million out though. Perhaps give Alan Johnson a phone as apparently you know more than him, save him some time looking for the lost million. It doesnt matter who introduced IB anyway, it's only a name change, but the message is the same. They are "unemployed". I like the way you choose to answer certain points and gloss over others. As far as ignorance is bliss, there are also none so blind.

In 1997 2.54 million people of working age were receiving incapacity benefit. At the end of 2004 there were 2.64 million. The substantial growth of that number during the 1980s and 1990s has been brought under control with the inflow reduced by one third. The latest statistics show a small but significant fall of 22,000 in the total number of people on incapacity benefit over the past year.

Oh and perhaps this site is a mock up then, eh.
From the horses mouth, a debate on IB. Perhaps your blinkers preclude you from reading facts though.

The hon. Gentleman asked that very question at the last Department for Work and Pensions questions. I do not doubt for a minute that Conservative Members really want to take 400,000 people off incapacity benefit and put them into work. However, the problem is that it is difficult to take their proposal seriously, and I am sorry about that. It is not just their record in government that was appalling—from 700,000 to 2.6 million people on incapacity benefit—but also the fact that one struggles to think how one could get 400,000 people off incapacity benefit and into work while simultaneously cutting the number of staff by 50 per cent., closing 600 jobcentres, cancelling the whole new deal and privatising Jobcentre Plus. I would like to have a modicum of faith in what the hon. Gentleman says, but I do not believe it and I am pretty sure that the British public will not believe it.

Total rubbish and you know it.

2,682.0
The source you provided states 2.7 million however you want to tart it up.
And as I said, they are still all UNEMPLOYED.
Do you think for one minute that Alan Johnson wouldnt have loved to say to the Tories, "hey, we have managed to remove one million people from IB since you lot mucked it all up"?

Oh and one other thing, the difference between claimants and recipitants is a simple matter of whether they are elligible to claim IB, it has quite stringent criteria. If not it's then classed as a Disability Premium, same benefit, same money, different name and method of recieving it thats all. 2.7 million people are still not working, hence unemployed but not officially classed as unemployed.
