    This isn't new in the news and there's been many different threads on here regarding this. No one knows exactly what will happen yet because no further details have been provided. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    @unclebob Thank you for sharing the article. 

    I understand that there is a very small percentage of people who claim fraudulently, but the amount of man hours paid that will go into this vs those hours going into reviewing claims quicker is what frustrates me.
