    My last word on this you have all misunderstanding what I said as a man of 68 who worked from age 15 son of immigrants parents have more than my share of illness arthritis/emphysema/had kidney removed last month and the ice ingredients on the cake terminal cancer .I had no intention of talking about this but as I have been attacked for my views thought I would put the record straight .never said everyone was a benefit cheet and as someone that is very grateful of NHS / benefit system and I think maybe people that did not know my circumstances also jumped to conclusion about me too shame on you.

    Hi all I've just had my health professionals do things for me because I can't. I've just seen and I now read these reply's here regarding benefit cheats. I'm with others here regarding our situations health wise, I certainly would also give up my support and be able to do the jobs and life I used to have.

    Iam adding the statistics showing that benefit fraud is very very small. Also anyone in there right mind would rather not claim because of all the hoops you have to go through to get what one is entitled too.



    So as you can quite clealy see its minimal. So now I've shared this I'm now going to take my pills and rest.

    Also to add people think before you type and especially what you type about as it's not right to offend anyone.

    I was not going to answer as I have asked to be unsubscribe but you parting shot is a cheep one when you say you hope I am well I did tell you I had terminal cancer and you say enjoy your rest and take care ! WELL MADAM OR SIR I hope when you are looking at YOUR last Xmas that people you come in contact with that don't happen to agree with you have more empathy than you poses I leave you with that thought I have wasted enough of my time trying to explain myself and have much better things on my bucket list that I should be dealing with . I wish you all a merry Xmas.

    ...….not paying the right amount of tax on there business others working and claiming the list goes on . If all of this was not going on there would be no poverty in this country as the money would go to those in NEED not GREED .
      
    Well, I'm 70 and my wife is 75. I still pay tax on all of my income except my state pension - yet I can't manage to claim any disability benefits because (a) I am too old (PIP finishes at 65) and (b) I am not ill, disabled enough to warrant carers looking after me.

    So it seems that I am contributing to those that do claim benefits but I never complain about them illegal or legal and personally don't get anything in return.


    Each to their own I say.

    Very few people claim benefits fraudulently and i'm not sure what insurance has to do with a benefits claim. You can't judge a by it's cover either and lots of people have invisible conditions/disabilities.
    few? meaning two or a couple?

    I personally know of two that are actually working and claiming, one who has three hairdressing saloon/beauty shops yet discloses a profit of just above the minimum wage for the hours worked. (cash business and not knowing what to spend it on) one (a couple) who receives Standard Care of PIP and are over 60 who also claims Pension Credit and has an income close to £700 a week based on benefits and works in the black economy as a plumber.

    Obviously I have no intention of naming names as the above information came by way of discussions I have had with them in the past and is confidential. .

    @abrami if you read my comments when i said enjoy your rest and take care, i wasn't actually talking to you! I was talking to Government_needs reform, which is why i tagged that person, not yourself. Thanks.

    @Yadnad so if you're 100% sure on that, i'll assume you did what you should have done and reported them?

    Yes absolutely sure. Those families I have worked with over the past 3 years in my role as their local councillor. It would be unethical for me to pass this information on and if found that I have, trust in me would vanish.
    The cheekiest is the family where the wife runs the hairdressers shops.
    Prior to UC, they were claiming Tax credits for the children and themselves on the basis of a low income.
    Yet in one year spending £10,000 on a rolex watch for her, a £5000 diamond engagement ring and a new Range Rover Sport costing in excess of £70,000 (minus the p/x for the 3 year old model) + regular holidays abroad!

    Some paid for in cash outright whilst the car (balance) and the watch were paid for on a friend's credit card where she handed over the equivalent amount in cash to cover the card payment (making the transactions for them, untraceable). 

    People have no idea what actually goes on in real life.

    You certainly seem to mix with a lot of fraudsters Yadnad.  I guess that must have affected your outlook on life.

    Back to the OP, you can ask for copies of letters sent from your consultant to your GP.  They may, or may not, be helpful with a PIP claim.  The most important evidence comes from you filling out the form properly.  Explain in your own words, with recent examples, what happens when you try to do the various activities that are asked about.

    @poppy123456 that's about the only thing I have left sometimes is my humour, glad I bring a smile to at least ones face???? you also keep are chin up because I don't want it falling down?

    @Username_removed yes I also understand where your also coming from as I said I have consultants come to me at home "I don't really like talking about this stuff" I hope you understand a bit more why, plus I have other HPs keep an eye on me I'm on a special watch list because of things I've done to myself over the years, I should be dead by now which what I've done to myself, I've spent many time in institutions also and yes they do see how I live or not well in my case.

    So for me I have so much **** going on in my head and added with all my physical problems, if you could see me you certainly would understand.

    I did and had a great life before all my issues, accident's and things of the past not good.

    @Username_removed when going through a PIP review am i right in saying you did say that you can ask for an ongoing award?

    Do i ask for this based on the medical evidence provided from community learning disabilities team that her conditions are life long, reports state the help/support she needs and how her conditions affect her. I value your advice please before i send the review forms in the next 2 days.

    @Government_needs_reform I’ve always said medical reports are of negligible use bar in LD and mental ill health cases. 

    @Username_removed yes that makes more sense then as those reports explain everything in more detail plus added with the diagnosis I know it's not about the diagnosis? But there all part and parcel.

    Poppy I hope mike gets back to you before sending that review form off. Good luck with it?
