@gbnews's TikTok video "Watch as GB News' Stephen Dixon challenges Labour Skills Minister Baroness Jacqui Smith over reports that revealed more seven-year-olds in Britain are on disability benefits compared to 50-year-olds. Official figures exposed that a staggering total of 69,799 seven-year-olds are receiving welfare support. Meanwhile, just 66,670 50-year-olds are receiving the same sort of welfare backing from the Government. The ballooning benefits bill is already bludgeoning the British taxpayer, costing the national economy an eye-watering £333billion a year. Speaking on GB News Breakfast, host Stephen said it was "tragic that young people are almost being trapped into a life on benefits." A Government spokesman said: "The rising proportion of young people on Child DLA is not a new trend. "Child DLA exists to help with the extra costs of caring for a seriously ill or disabled child. "But we know there is a rising demand, which is why we have trained additional case managers to deal with these claims to a high standard. "We have also outlined reforms to special educational needs to ensure every child gets the right support early on, without a fight, and are investing a record £16.1billion in NHS mental health services this year." #Benefits #Labour #ukpolitics #uknews #GBNews" has 29,724 views, 506 likes, 146 comments, 46 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
