Re: Tory plan to cut disability red tape

My gripe is with these unemployment type centres that help people who have never done a tap of work and never ever intend to lift a finger if they can help it in their lifetime basically fiddle the system by wording their claims in the right way and telling them what to say in order to freeload off the system.
Sorry for the misunderstanding Mol. I did think that it was out of character for you to have a go at such a sterling organization.

I never came up against the type of centre you have described. Most of the "*******s" that came up against my department were there because someone had shopped them or they had become so blasé that they thought they could do what they wanted un-noticed...a certain window cleaner who "couldn't get out of his wheelchair unaided" but managed to shin up ladders comes to mind.

As I said earlier the whole Disability Benefit arena needs to be sorted out and simplified. I would ask that if anyone has dealings with a claims office they try not to take the systems failings out on the staff who have no control over the process as, up to my time of leaving, most of them were just as frustrated by the whole shebang as the claimants were. Mind, after wading through the process for relatives I can sympathize with the temptation to let blast at someone.
