A very good article from FinFacts.
Irish working-age disability recipients up 40% in 2006-2014
Although the Irish population increased by 6% over these 8 years, the number receiving disability benefit increased b y 40%.

But we report ourselves as being in good health generally

Was there a change in policy or practice which resulted in classifying more people as disabled rather than unemployed?
