Abuse of benefits systems can happen. Cutting benefits to those that need it is not the solution.
That would require dividing a system that supports with enough human checks to make the right calls, ideally with doctors leading. The problem is, said system would cost more than the estimated 2% fraud and error that occurs so it probably isn’t worth it. If the fraud and error grows larger than that, it makes sense, but they would need to get a high quality solution right.

No argument here. But the benefit system desperately needs tighting up so the benefits go to people who needy them - or we need to start discussing universal income idea instead.
