Your OP doesn't actually mention fraud it simply says the "the tax payer can't afford it " presumably you mean Motability as a service given you refer to it as a "cottage industry"

Dog with a bone much? I certainly do not think that most people are defrauding benefits (which is off topic). You can't just make things up you know.

You forgot to mention the link posted in the OP. The link is 'disguised' like this - MOTABILITY - and it concerns motability fraud (which is on topic) and that is what the thread has been about for 6 pages.

If you really want to read more of the article that I quoted, simply use google. I didn't post a link because a short extract seemed to be enough information. The article gives loose credence to Motability abuse at Kwikfit albeit some years ago.

Now please, you're endangering my glass eye .

£70m does not equate to an 'extremely low fraud rate' in my book. I must be a real cheapskate if the general consensus is that taxpayers should just write off this loss in case its recovery is upsetting for genuine claimants. I'm sure you're made of much sterner stuff.

And it is right that the tests for qualification are rigorous surely?

The content of this thread is less controversial than, say, BBC's Question Time or an episode of The Simpsons. Can I be reported for bruising egos? Gulp!
