Just to clarify, in tune with my earlier post, I was being critical of the alleged actions of the claimants involved not the BBC's reasons for doing the programme.
For every cheat or fraudster there are probably dozens if not hundreds of decent people who are entilted to and rely upon what are all too often very meagre benefits. There are also many who are entitled yet don't claim for reasons as their own pride and dignity.
In this area, the actions of the few make life so much harder for the majority both directly and indirectly. It's right that these people are exposed and punished if found guilty but I would like to see the degree of fraud better quantified. This would the public to put it into context and better understand that it's a minority involved in this sort of thing and life's quite tough enough for the genuine claimant.
