What counts as 'disabled'?

And is the problem related to mobility, sensory issues, mental heath - what exactly? Grouping everyone together is a very broad brush.

Most of their stats would point to things being skewed by long term unemployed signed off as 'disabled' with the usual vague mobility/mental health/pain/whatever.

Meanwhile here am I sat surrounded by people with all sorts of disabilities, some extremely severe, yet they don't seem to be having problems to anything like the same extent this exercise suggested.

Bound the study with more details than just 'disabled' and they might have produced something useful.
