The current system is useless and it wouldn't be so bad if competent assessments were being conducted but they are not and because reality doesn't fit what the DWP want they continue to move the goalposts making the system more stressful for the genuine claimants.

Here's the biggest joke of all though the current system DOES NOT catch frauds it does nothing to reduce the amount of fraud because most assessor's are not medically trained and have no real practical knowledge of pain thus making it easy to fool them. People here and elsewhere talking about how the genuine must suffer so that we minimise fraud have been lied too left, right and centre that the system does anything more then create problems for people who are already suffering. So support the system if you want but don't pretend it's about cutting fraud because there isn't a single piece of reliable evidence to support the cutting fraud lie.
1. You accept that there is fraud;
2. You say the current system does not identify fraud;
3. You say genuine claimants suffer because of the system;
4. You imply the DWP have an agenda that causes stress for genuine claimants;
5. You call into question the capability of assessors;
6. You say the current system is useless.

Rather than insulting hard-working and underpaid civil servants, what system for controlling and delivering public funds to genuine claimants, whilst minimising fraud, would you suggest?
