I don't think most of the population have a problem with proportionate benefits going to genuine claimants, Den. However, many do think that there is too much abuse of the system. Unfortunately, whenever the Government tries to clamp down on that abuse, genuine claimants are caught up in a lot of bureaucratic hurdles which I for one am very concerned about.
There are no easy answers unfortunately, other than increased policing of the system, which will be resented by some, and which will probably cost more money than it saves.
