To do nothing, just because it is difficult, is a cop-out, imho.
Also tho by doing something eg. using a sledgehammer to kill a fly they denying money to legit claimants as they turning legit claimants down.

If they were that concerned about the legit claimants they wouldnt be going in so ad hoc.

The comment about GP notes longer than a week has merit as well, even tho my sister got told after her mini stroke she would be off work for months, she has had to go in weekly for sick notes.
