If the Tories can clean up this mess, then I will take my hat off to them.
And no-doubt Dusty his lid.

My twin did it: the benefit fraudsters' bizarre excuses A list of "ridiculous" excuses made by benefit fraudsters who have been caught trying to cover up their crime has been released Ministers published the list to highlight the £1.6 billion of taxpayer's money lost through fraud in benefits and tax credits each year 8:00AM BST 29 May 2011 People making false claims for benefit told inspectors they didn't realise they were on benefit, must have their identity stolen – or had an identical twin making claims. Ministers published the list to highlight the £1.6 billion of taxpayer's money lost through fraud in benefits and tax credits each year. A survey by fraud investigators revealed their top ten worst excuses used by benefit cheats: – "We don't live together he just comes each morning to fill up his flask". – "I wasn't using the ladders to clean windows, I carried them for therapy for my bad back." – "I had no idea my wife was working! I never noticed her leaving the house twice a day in a fluorescent jacket and a Stop Children sign." – "My wallet was stolen so someone must have been using my identity, I haven't been working". – "I didn't know I was still on benefit." – "I didn't declare my savings because I didn't save them, they were given to me." – "He lives in a caravan in the drive, we're not together." – "He does come here every night and leave in the morning and although he has no other address I don't regard him as living here." – "It wasn't me working, it was my identical twin. – "I wasn't aware my wife was working because her hours of work coincided with the times I spent in the garden shed." Lord Freud, Welfare Reform Minister said: "Benefit fraud is no joke, and yet our investigators are routinely dealing with barefaced cheek and ridiculous excuses for stealing money from the taxpayer. "Universal Credit will simplify and automate the benefits system. This will make it much easier to catch people who make false claims."

They want to get a grip on those Mobility Car free loaders..I reckon 75% dont really qualify for a free motor...and the Other 25% should be given transport vouchers to spend on Taxis, Private Hire and buses. |
