Iain Duncan Smith has received a boost from David Cameron in his battle to persuade the Treasury to support his planned overhaul of the welfare system.
David Cameron, singled out Iain Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions secretary, for praise, describing benefit fraud as a "luxury we can no longer afford".
Mr Duncan Smith has been reported to be threatening to quit if his welfare reforms are not accepted by George Osborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Welfare and tax credit fraud and error costs the UK £5.2billion, Mr Cameron said. Fucking bollocks, said D.L.
The Tories seem to have the impression that everyone who is on benefits, is screwing the system. That is so far away from the truth, that it's just ridiculous and I have some experience in this field. Incapacity benefit is marginally better than unemployment benefit. Anyone on DISABILITY LIVING ALLOWANCE, needs it. They have to go through a minefield to get it, including Doctor's visits, Doctors I might add who are wholly looking at ways to disallow it or at the very least give such a bad report that the claimant doesn't get it. I have seen medical questionnaires that are a complete misrepresentation of the situation.
I am willing to agree that there is some fiddling of INCAPACITY BENEFIT, but if the Treasury thinks they are going to save £5.2Billion, they are living in CLOUD CUCKOO LAND! BTW, Iain Duncan Smith. Is one Christian name not enough for that twat? Another fucking Jock!
