One estimate was that 60% of the 1.14 million official invalids (excluding disabled war veterans and victims of work accidents) were phoney. In one village of 1,200 adults, 500 were officially invalids, including the centre forward of the local football team (a certified cripple) and a local car-racing landowner (certified blind). One in four inhabitants were supposedly in need of additional grants to pay for a career apart from their own benefits. Many living elsewhere were officially domiciled there, an unusual number of them at the addresses of the mayor, the doctor and the head of the local health service.
