Two million 'wrongly get benefit'

Oh what a surprise, the British taxpayer is being royally screwed. Here's the BBC report "Fewer than a third of the 2.7 million or so people claiming incapacity benefit are legitimate claimants, a government welfare adviser has said.

David Freud, an investment banker, said up to 185,000 claimants work illegally while on the benefit.

He told the Daily Telegraph it was "ludicrous" medical checks were carried out by a claimant's own GP."


Everyone knows how people work the system, but nothing is done about it.
