sentences:  A report written by academics from Sheffield Hallam University argued that Incapacity Benefit had been used to give the appearance that unemployment levels were lower than they genuinely were.The report's author's claimed that because Incapacity Benefit claimants were not counted as unemployed in official data on employment levels, unemployed people with disabilities that did not necessarily prevent them from working were allowed to claim Incapacity Benefit so that unemployment figures would appear lower.The report cites data from the DWP that show that the number of Incapacity Benefit in relation to the number of JSA claimants rose considerably between the 1990s and the 2000s.
