I assume that almost everyone in the UK who is able to work has a smartphone already.

If they were to require digital ID for pensions or disability benefits there would be more problems.

Even if that were the case, by what mechanism are they commandeering it? That's essentially what I was thinking about in this India case.

Undoubtedly most people will comply, but there will be a few who don't, so I'm curious what the plan is to bring them in line.
