I don't know whether this is the lottery some claim, or whether people are just annoyed that their benefits are being terminated.
The problem is, that there are so many people abusing the system. The issue is how to get the balance right.
I would not wish any genuine claimant to lose out, but we do need to stop paying out taxpayer's money to those who are claiming under false pretences.

Have you got proof of this wildly exaggerated statement OB?.

While there is a small minority that cheat the system the vast majority of claimants are genuine unless you read the usual demonising culprits of our so called media OB.

Anybody who cheats the system should have to face the full wrath of the law IMO.

Nothing of the sort as we know there is a small minority that cheat the system just like other society systems but don't exaggerate it like you usually do.
