Personally, I would do away with giving cash for benefits and give vouchers instead, I work beside a bookies and an offies and the place is full of those with nothing to do and all day to do it.

What utter tosh. My wife was on the upper DLA for a year whilst she recovered from cancer. Set up for life no way. Free house! sorry we own ours, worked and paid a mortgage to buy it. nobody offered any help with her housing costs. Free car, ffs she couldn't walk out the house for 6 months. It took her near on 3 years to have the strength and feeling in her feet to control a car. After 6 months, she had to start attending monthly interviews to explain why she was unfit to work. The benefits agency initially required her to attend a medical but then decided cancer was a sufficient reason for her to be ill.
She did return back to work 2 years ago. Sometimes people need a bit of help to get them through serious illness and disability. Just because you are claiming your legitimate and paid for right, it doesn't make you a scrounger
