Re: disability living allowance

Tony the problem is most of the **** scamming the system know all the loopholes and are very rarely the people that have the trouble getting the benefit because they already know exactly how to word everything and how to fake obvious symptoms. This is why i believe that a classification of medically confirmed should be introduced whereby a claimant has undergone a whole range of tests and consultants appointments before being diagnosed.

Most genuinely disabled people have already been through that and already have that medical evidence so how about limiting claims to those with the accompying medical evidence. While not perfect it is better then what we have now and isn't that hard to implement. But it would also mean that the government wouldn't have such an easy scapegoat the next time there is media inspired hysteria about how the benefit system is abused by the tiny small minority of those who do abuse it.

What we shouldn't have is a process in place that makes it extremely hard for those who genuniely are entitled to get those benfits they should, and a system that does not make those using it feel they are second class citizens in this country and that is what we have right now.
