He gave me a Cert for three months, I could use the leg etc, but that is how easy it was, nowadays, this problem is still going on.
I read an article a couple of months ago that a young man who had lost a leg, as he was SEEN kicking a ball, with his only leg. The benefit people stopped his benefit.
This is wrong.

I agree with you, except for the bit in bold. There was a firefighter who lost his leg from the knee down in a motorcycle accident.After a great deal of physio, and a false leg, he returned to work as a firefighter. So I doubt very much that he still claims DLA. So with the person who was kicking the ball, I presume they stopped his benefit because with his false leg, he was fully mobile again.
We really do need to know both sides of the story.
