Re: Worrying news for ESA claimants converting from DLA to PIP.

No one is saying or has ever said there are no frauds out there as clearly there are and i hope when caught the full weight of the law is brought to bear and ideally custodial sentences. For the few frauds and despite how the media portrays things it is a few given the number of total claimants it is wrong to cause the stress and worry the current system does. The current system is useless and it wouldn't be so bad if competent assessments were being conducted but they are not and because reality doesn't fit what the DWP want they continue to move the goalposts making the system more stressful for the genuine claimants.

Here's the biggest joke of all though the current system DOES NOT catch frauds it does nothing to reduce the amount of fraud because most assessor's are not medically trained and have no real practical knowledge of pain thus making it easy to fool them. People here and elsewhere talking about how the genuine must suffer so that we minimise fraud have been lied too left, right and centre that the system does anything more then create problems for people who are already suffering. So support the system if you want but don't pretend it's about cutting fraud because there isn't a single piece of reliable evidence to support the cutting fraud lie.
