Thread Name: BS: Benefits (uk) & The Age of Suspicion
Subject: RE: BS: Benefits (uk) & The Age of Suspicion
We all know that unscrupulous parents seek diagnosis of this pie in the sky thing called "ADHD" to get benefits. In my day it was called bad parenting.

Many people, including teachers, are sceptical as to whether the condition isn't simply a way for bad parents to excuse the bad behaviour of their children. I have heard it theorised that ADHD is a problem caused by middle class parents who aren't prepared to smack their children and demand a label when their children struggle at school, or that ADHD is a problem caused by working class parents who feed their children junk food and abandon them to the television.



There are thousands of people on DLA under the age of 16, the government are aware a lot of it is fraud. DLA fraud is on the rise, facts prove this.

There must be a clamp down on the massive fraud. The government is able to justify the cuts and I am glad to say, increased checks are in store for everyone on disability benefits.
