Sandip Singh Atwal tries to steal £836,000 from our NHS.
 

After being treated by the NHS following an attack for injury to two fingers and a cut lip, he had the cheek to claim that the staff were negligent.

He lied and said that due to their negligence, amongst other things, he had suffered pain, lost his confidence and could not work as a result etc and wanted money for future loss of earnings and carers costs.

The NHS offered him £30,000, but this wasn't good enough for him as he wanted £836,000 out of them. The NHS became suspicious and, in the first case of this kind, put him under surveillance and investigation:

He then said that he wanted the original offer of £30,000! The trust said that this would now be used to cover most of their legal costs and that he still owed them £5,000 :D

Not the first won't be the last some people are always looking to get money for nothing personally makes me sick the amount of money paid out to chancers in this country that ends up costing the majority in so many areas. I think it's time every case in all areas be subject to a thorough investigation that takes time once most chancers realise there will be no quick settlement we will see a drastic drop in such claims. As for this individual he attempted fraud and i hope he gets the book thrown at him make him a very public example and further deter similar ****.

I hope he gets the maximum possible prison sentence. This would be a deterrent to others.

If he hadn't been so greedy, he could've walked away with £30,000 and no trouble.

Greed appears to be genetic with these people.

Will we get our NHS money back from the B'stard.

Re: Sandip Singh Atwal tries to steal £836,000 from our NHS.
 

Thankfully he didn't end up getting anything, however, I do hope that they manage to recover the outstanding £5,000 still owed in legal fees.

He is due to be sentenced on 1/6/18.

Tell me why this post is not racist?

Which people, Richard?

Re: Sandip Singh Atwal tries to steal £836,000 from our NHS.
 

As per local knowledge, the family in question are alleged to be fraudsters. There's only you that has unnecessarily brought race into the discussion.

Re: Sandip Singh Atwal tries to steal £836,000 from our NHS.
 

Oh for gods sake talk about reading more into something i read it as meaning fraudsters nothing whatsoever to do with race maybe your the problem if you automatically saw race as the insinuation.

Re: Sandip Singh Atwal tries to steal £836,000 from our NHS.
 

You said ‘genetic’...

Do you have any links to this ‘local knowledge’?

Re: Sandip Singh Atwal tries to steal £836,000 from our NHS.
 

Apart from anything else, others in the family must have known what was going on.

Try watching a few factual TV series about fraud and you should get the idea.

Exactly. Sounds like some are trying to collect a few PC brownie points, I thought the practice of looking for racism in everything ended in the 90's.

It's a pity other disadvantaged groups don't get this extra consideration, anyone would think that racism was more important than any other form of discrimination.

This man attempted to steal a huge amount of money from our NHS, yet all these two are concerned about is bringing race into it.

In addition, this case may still be sub judice.
