DLA into PIP

If they want to catch all the benefit cheats, all they need to do is wait for them outside 'The Benefit Cheats Meeting Club' , AKA 'The Jeremy Kyle Show'.

Everybody knows the system is broken, genuine claimants are penalised while the fakers seem to get away with it. My own brother was forced to take that disgusting disability test after he had a stroke. Despite having letters from both his own doctor and the hospital specialists stating he was unfit for work those wankers passed him fit for work, for the last 3 years he has not received a single penny from the state. On the other hand my next door neighbour has not had a job in the 27yrs i have lived here. He is officially registered disabled but it does not stop him painting and decorating or doing gardening jobs for cash in hand. The system needs fixing but i really don't know what the answer is.

My neighbours the same not worked claim benefits and sell drugs from their house been raided twice in 5 years each time small fine prob earn that in a couple of deals

It amazes me how these people seem to get away with it, pretending to be unfit for work while spending their benefits on drink and drugs. How come they never seem to get tested and the sanctioned but the genuine ones do?

Keep a good eye out for it, they are doing everybody. I'd imagine it's just a matter of time.

Remember, YOU have to contact them to get the application form, may be contact your local citizens advise, there is normally one associated with your doctors surgery, and can help you with other claims.

Becasue it's all parties that just accept it.

Since 2004 I have lost every single 'assessement' by the government. Every single one has gone to appeal with the qassociated stress, I have won every single one with no problems, but they still keep calling.

But when you have questions like, can you move to the seat right next to you, it's no wonder poeple fail.

You should report him. Take video footage.

It always fascinates me that when the media run their usual story about a cheat exposed in court, they've always been doing something ludicrously OTT like running a keep-fit class or sky-diving when they should be almost immobile. Presumably because the more salacious, the "better" news, but it surely skews the impression of people who not only screw the system, but feel obliged to really be blatant about it.
