MHK queries cost of incapacity benefits

How many people are on incapacity benefits?

That's what Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse wants to know, having tabled a Tynwald question for written reply to Treasury Minister Chris Thomas.

He's asking how many people have been claiming over the past four years, and whether it's for mental health conditions or other reasons.

Mr Moorhouse also wants to know what the annual cost is of paying these benefits.
