With the greatest of respect we're talking about a limited number of "possible" claimants being treated in a way other than what they think they should. What that doesn't amount to is a system wide practice of doing so. Furthermore, in the cases RizzyKing alludes to, the judgement was found for the claimant which again does not stack up with any attempt by any party to cover up any wrong doing.

People claiming against the DWP in particular is nothing new as people do it all the time. Some could point to the confusing terminology or amount of information that seems to be required these days which leads people to answer a question in a way that might go against them rather than for them, purely because they didn't completely understand what was being asked.

The most likely reason that a scandal has never been reported is that there probably isn't one.
