Doctors have not heard of pip

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. .

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.
