I agree
If you look at some of the links on that site there are reports of how 74 per cent of pip appeals are successful and one about dwp visiting UC claiments in hospitals
I just wonder if its all fake
The papers get hold of the story gleefully, and then the general public are suspicious and resentful of all disabled people, because they themselves do hard jobs, pay tax, and believe their tax goes to lying parasitic scroungers.
On the other hand, that liar could have a) lied to his g.p. who believes he cannot get out of bed, or else b) gone to his g.p. to get treatment for blisters on his hands from the cash in hand job he does for the building supplier.
It's quite horrible to think non medical people are looking at personal details, but it's also understandable that they need confirmation the claimant is truthful. If you have a car crash, you will not be able to claim injury compensation from the insurance company, until you hand over your medical records. They would just not believe your word . Should taxpayers' money be handed out just on the claimant's word?
If they could replace the non-medical searchers with a computer programme, presumably designed by doctors, it seems better.
