It's because the fraudsters know how to work the system.
Our neighbour was badly injured many years ago in a car accident. According to another neighbour he manages to get everything.
I have to laugh sometimes when the ambulance comes to fetch him for hospital appointments he comes limping out with calipers on both legs regardless that an hour or so earlier he was pottering round the garden weeding!
A few years ago he was held up at the hospital and the pharmacist came to the door as he had rung him to ask if I could take his medication in. It was a massive bag and I had to give my name and sign as one was a controlled drug,I assume it was morphine.
There is a lot of this about.......
I must widen my circle of friends to include some one who knows their way about these forms
This is soo trueTry going through the assessment, it's downright humiliating. Every single question the assessor goes through with you it seems as if they are trying to catch you out up to the point they are almost suggesting you are lying. The whole process is definitely designed to put people off having to go through it. I know they have to weed out the fraudsters but unfortunately the fraudsters sail through it whilst the genuine people get declined.
