The official figure for disability benefit fraud is just 0.5%. That is 1 in 200... NOT the 93% of the first headline or 75% of the second headline.

To get disability benefits is NOT easy, it is a long process which includes getting a proper diagnosis from a specialist in that specific medical field. The claimant MUST produce a medical certificate to show that their condition is genuine and their doctor believes that they should not be working in that condition. Even then, the government put claimants through their own medical examinations which are intended to stop people claiming despite the diagnosis from a highly trained and qualified specialist and the assessment of the claimant's doctor.

So the idea that such high numbers get through all these steps, fooling every medical professional and the government's own assessment team, is just plain ridiculous. It is just government propaganda, aimed at making people hate disabled people so that the government can take money away from disabled people and leave them to starve.

This month is my third year as a member and Moderator on Disabled Online. I have met so many good people with variations of disabilities and have been educated by each and every one of them. Many stories have inspired me as well as taught me that even with different disabilities we all share a common bond. I enjoy my position here on Disabled Online and have great admiration for Jaybird for having faith in me to represent his site as Moderator. If I can help any member at anytime please send me a private message and I will do my best.
