One point about DLA. A lot of miners who lost their jobs when pits closed were put on DLA to keep them off the dole queue figures. Politics huh?!

And some are still on the DLA here in South Wales, some left the closed mines in the 80's and haven't worked since.
It does seem very very unfair when some are able to lie and get benefits easily, and the needy find it difficult with many hurdles or face refusal.
As I have said before, the benefit system generally favours liars.
