Re: For those of us unfit to work

Well i cannot speak for any other doctors surgery other then my own but getting a sicknote for longer then a week is no easy thing anymore and usually they are only given on the understanding you'll go for further tests and consultants appointments. We have allowed the likes of the daily hate and certain politicians to blow the whole welfare fraud thing out of all proportion to enable them to hit far larger groups who are genuine and not conning the system.

As it stands right now most of the public will go along with pretty much any welfare reform they hear about as long as the obligatory "combatting benefit fraud" rubbish is tacked on it somewhere. There is fraud i have never denied it hell i have seen it for myself and reported it for all the good that did and thats another thing. You can report people yet very little seems to happen to longterm persistent offenders almost as though someone somewhere doesn't really want to get rid of fraud as much as they say.

This whole massive benefit fraud is one of the biggest political snowjobs i have ever seen and it is being done very well with the aid of certain media outlets happy to perpetuate the myth that all the hard working taxpayers are being royally ripped off all the time by benefit claimants. This si not something that claimants can resolve it has to be done by society on a whole saying "enough is enough" no more hitting the most vulnerable in our society actually go after those doing far worse and having a far greater affect ie. tax evaders who cost this country more then benefit fraud ever could.
