Re: Benefit cuts are fuelling abuse of disabled people, say charities

We not talking about housing benefit martyh we talking about the treatment of the disabled, who yes may well also claim housing benefit but thats not the main point of discussion.

long term disability benefit claims have gone through the roof
17% since 2000 is through the roof?

You dont come across as someone who is neutral.

The only way to increase or even maintain current expenditure on welfare is to either raise taxes or divert funds from other services ,services that tax payers pay for and risk losing so we can keep on giving lazy or fraudulent claimers free money ,we have supported them long enough
The most credible figures state less than 1% is fraud so the cuts eat into non fraudelent claims, meaning what you said isnt credible. What you have just said to me is that you find not raising taxes and other services as more important that the welfare of the vulnerable. Thank you for confirming that. Alot more truthful than just "we cant afford it".
