Here's a list of the main benefits and how many million claim each.
The categories overlap to some extent and the total number of claimants/recipients must be less than the total UK population, not more. And clearly there must be a million or two people who get nothing, but I struggle to think who they might be.
The value of most of the working age benefits is in the order of £3,000 - £4,000 per year. Each has its own rules, rates and allowances, but they all come to the same thing. Seriously, why do they keep up the pretence, apart from creating jobs for civil servants?
