Disability Benefits

The left are proclaiming that the Coalition are taking the Disability Benefits from 500,000 people in the UK.

That is a huge number of people, and in an economic crisis, it is probably quite a scary prospect for some people.

However, one thing he left always forget to mention, or think about, or give numbers on are, out of the 500,000 people getting stripped of the Disability Benefits, how many are actually deserved of it.

In May 2012 there were more than 2.5 million people claiming incapacity benefits.

That is a lot of people, and when you think the number will only go down to 2 million still claiming, surely that means the 500,000 people who are most likely to lose their benefits, are probably benefit cheats!

How is that fair on the remaining people who are deserved of benefits?

I feel awful for those, who are being 100% honest, and have complete right to claim their benefits, because Labour allowed people to claim for years, and years without being checked properly.

Labour allowed this to spiral out of control, they allowed thousands of fraudsters get away with it for years.

What would Labour do to crack down on these cheats? What would Labour propose?

How can we reduce our spending if there are 500,000 people claiming on disability benefits when they could be working, helping the economy, and themselves.

How is it fair on disabled people, that these fraudsters are claiming benefits they have no right to, and because of these fraudsters, and Labour, are now being punished because of it.

It isn't fair on them, on the economy, or on us people. So surely, and sadly, harsh regulations are having to come into place to get these cheaters off of benefits.

I have family who are on the disability benefits, and are backing the government 100%, because they are fed with being penalised for other people.
