Do you not think that rather than clamp down on people allegedly misusing disability payments the governments efforts would be better spent in closing these massive tax loopholes?

Perhaps that is the wrong question. What if they decide to work from abroad and not employ any people in this country? That would result in a fall in our tax intake and less money available for the NHS.

It's the government who makes these kinds of choices and we vote them in or out as a result.
