I know a fella who apparently can barely walk unaided but a few weeks ago walked 3 miles from a pub having left his "walking aid" behind. I've also seen him get out a taxi and have to run behind it waving it down having left his walking aid in it an walked up his drive unaided.

oh dear, make yourself feel better time is it just to pretend only fraudsters are affected?
For a start I can put your claim to shame by confirming I dont know anyone abusing the system.
I think the truth is more like part of the reason people are not bothered is (a) they themselves are not personally affected (yes we live in a self first society these days) and (b) they have been led to believe by propaganda that there is a huge amount of people fiddling the system.
On the other hand I know personally probably half a dozen business owners who hide profits down the back of the sofa etc. to avoid paying taxes.
