No, unfortunately you haven't - not beyond what was previously (certainly pre 2008) considered de rigeur practice for recruitment agencies as I pointed out earlier.

Actually it's not. Their Memorandum of Incorporation and Articles of Association are available from Companies House (as are their accounts) and the contract of engagement via the DWP and the terms of reference thereof are available under the terms of the competitive tendering processes covered by the FOI.

I would point you to the DWP statistics backed up by prosecution records such as this (of which there are many thousands across the UK). The difference between your position and one of logic is that logic can provide clear and easily identifiable examples of the abuses that have lead to the current situation. Not "heresay" nor "rumour" but factual abuses. You, on the other hand, are adopting the old "Fingers in ears attitude".

Why?

If, as you have alleged they have access to information and proof as you have alleged then they are, moreso than the Government, betraying the sick and ill whom you would have us all believe are most at risk.

Errr...I think you'll find that you said "In the days of hand written reports doctors used to alter reports with false information after the claimant had signed the old one off".

No, I think you'll find that you are attempting to backtrack by incorrectly interpreting the comments of the adjudication in relation to "Mrs E's" dismissed appeal which I provided a link to earlier.

5 billion lost to benefit fraud each year.
majority of incapacity benefit claimants capable of work.
Yes, please do take as many hours as you like. I, and others, await your factually researched reply. I'm rather more proactive, dogged and aggressive in researching facts (whether as stated by the DWP or others) than what might be normally considered "comfortable" by certain parties.

You, of all people, I would have thought would have realized that.

Not so, for reasons pointed out earlier. I rather suspect that "The reason evidence is hard to come by" which might support your rather preposterous assertions is, quite simply, because it does not exist.

I am, of course, open to correction.
