Re: The state benefits system mega-thread.

There's plenty of plumbers, taxi drivers and carpet fitters out there doing a ton of work for £10 000 a year as well, equally a preposterous notion and costing genuine taxpayers who are left footing the bill for public services.

Evidence from a medical professional is medical evidence.

Are you claiming that all of the above conditions are easily faked to the point GPs prescribe medication, refer to specialists, etc.
