Re: Motability
70 million sounds a lot until you put it into context of government spending at which point like it or not it's a trivial amount. We would all prefer a zero fraud figure but that's not possible there will always be some who will fiddle just as some do with their taxes and that problem is costing us significantly more. Aggression towards claimants has increased and absolutely correct about disability forums many people are being attacked and intimidated by some because the media has made a mountain out of a molehill aided by certain politicians and the rhetoric they use.
As for how can I debunk a paper I don't read very easy when I see multiple articles quoted as saying e-cigarettes are more harmful and dangerous then tobacco or that e-cigarettes will renormalise tobacco smoking and nice flavours will encourage children to get into smoking. The daily mail has been one of the very worst in misinformation on e-cigarettes that's how I can debunk something I do not read.
Back to the topic there comes a point where what you expend outweighs what you can collect and fraud within some of our benefits has reached that point, numerous reports have clearly stated fraud within the welfare system is not high though what there is is undesirable and we compare favourably to many nations. Trouble is it's such a damn easy scapegoat for lazy and inept politicians and there are always media outlets happy to create a problem and get us at each other's throat.
