That's a net gain for the government "And the cost is not just financial; in the mad dash for euphemistic terms like “flexibility” and “streamlined”, people, real people are getting left behind. Stories are emerging of suicides over cut support, while between January and August last year, 32 people a week died after being declared fit for work. That’s around 1184 mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters and brothers who successfully stopped being a “net drain” in the space of six months."www.newstatesman.com/blogs/politics/2012/10/who-benefits-disability-cuts

Hey, that's a major win! 32 less people claiming disability payments, every week? That deserves a major self-congratulatory press release!!
(I wish I was being sarcastic there, but I'm not sure I am; I rarely see anything resembling compassion or human decency from politicians...)
