Like you believe everything you read in the papers!
Fact is there are benefit cheats and they need to be weeded out. And its about time too!
I'd expect a left win newspaper to put a different slant on it with an unnamed source!!

If it's true, it's appauling. And it really wouldn't surprise me to find out it was accurate.

There are hardcore scroungers out there who want to make claiming into a career, but this is in no way the majority, and as the article so rightly points out, this kind of disgusting practice will not expose them.

I'm really pleased to see this here - I wanted to post it myself but didn't know how!

Of course The Guardian isn't a left wing newspaper, it is a Liberal publication who vociferously supported the Liberal-Democrats at the general election. Also, whistleblowers are generally granted anonymity in exposing matters of this nature.

Read the article - its not benefit fraudsters who are being targetted but vulnerable individuals who are disabled or mentally ill and find it difficult to have their due benefits re-instated.

Yes the rules changed in April 2010 but para 2 ''culture change'' since Summer 2010 in enforcing those rules is the point.
