There have always been families like that as long as welfare benefits have existed. When I started work at Accy Ministry of Pensions and National Insurance in 1960, I soon learned the family names of the 'regulars'.
At that time there was legislation in force which prevented such families from having more coming in than that of a council labourer. That didnt get them working or stop them from claiming. That rule was abolished by Barbara Castle because it was the children who felt the poverty (dad stlll had his beer money regardless).

Think you will find that dad still gets his beer money or whatever they spend it on now. Always the kids who have to go without so that these selfish people are happy
