There's no need to imply anything as this very much happens. In the late 90s the Netherlands had extremely generous disability benefits. It was so generous that a US president that visited wondered why anybody would work at all in this country? All of a sudden, we had a full 1 million people of working age on permanent disability. And yes, the vast majority on claims of "back pain" and "depression" which both conveniently cannot be medically disproved. You'd receive some 70-90% of your last/highest paycheck, and get this benefit for life. So you can basically retire at any age on a full work salary. Everybody over here would know several people in their circles fully abusing this. It was widespread. None of this is surprising. Getting money whilst not needing to work is attractive.
