ROTFL! Socialism. Ya gotta love it. Another fraud scheme perpetrated on the taxpayers by freeloaders.
Sounds like something desperately needed in the USA. I would not be the least bit surprised if 15 to 20 percent of those collecting disability benefits are scams.
Good for the Brits! Will we have the good sense to do the same? (Right!)
Here in the U.S., Can we lock up the lawyers complicit in this American fraud?
It’s a miracle!
I think you're low-balling. It's probably closer to 90%+.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:

Good question. I suppose it's possible but highly unlikely.
TESTS??! We would NEVER impose on people for such a thing in the USA! They have rights! We should just trust them. If they say there are disabled, then that is the end of it. We just pay them to be alive until they die. We OWE it to them.

It’s worse than the 878k number would indicate
878,300 dropped their claims
837,000 were found fit to work
367,300 were fit for some amount of work
232,000 (just 1 in 8) were found to be unable to work

If my personal observations are any indication, it’s more like 60%-80% disability fraud. Lazy schmucks stealing from us that work for a living.
They’re doing the opposite over her, encouraging unemployed to go on disability.
GEE! That sure cured them a lot better and faster than the communist style health care UK has!
(we get articles from UK almost daily about patients dropping dead in hospital due to starvation or failure to provide care... also extremely lengthy waiting periods to see medical personnel or receive certain important treatments or surgeries)
hopefully all those articles are wrong, or exaggerations, but.... this new approach has cured nearly a million disabled people almost instantly.... (an amazing MIRACLE appropriate to this Easter/Passover season)...
Congratulations, United Kingdom!
OMG!!! BLOODSUCKERS!! Just like we have here!!
MILLIONS are collecting disability and most are RECENT! It’s probably 60% are FRAUDS!
It’s a MIRACLE....Just like Billy Ray Valentine being able to WALK!!!
” I would not be the least bit surprised if 15 to 20 percent of those collecting disability benefits are scams.”
In this country is likely is at least 50% scamming the system. And Nobama loves it...helps keep unemployment numbers unrealistically low.
