I think there are many (probably most) people who are sympathetic to and willing to open the taxpayers’ coffers to support people who are genuinely and durably unable to work.

I also think there are many (perhaps most) who are reluctant/unwilling to extend those same benefits to those are merely unwilling to work.

So, we use bureaucrats and courts to confirm that a given situation is the former and not the latter.
