You talk as though disabled people don't pay tax, when the vast majority do. Not all taxpayers are hard working either, many don't work at all.
Also, a good proportion of disability benefits aren't funded by the taxpayer, but by the National Insurance scheme that disabled people will have paid into whilst they were working.
Fraud, by the Governments own figures, is negligible.
