So the latest figures released from Department for Work and Pension show that the numbers claiming the Disability Living Allowance have reached now 3.2 million compared to some 2.2 million 10 years ago.
It would appear the biggest increases are in medical areas which are notoriously difficult to diagnose ( how convenient for HMG you might well say ? ), raising questions no doubt to be asked by the tabloid press ,about how genuine the illnesses and syndromes are for which taxpayer-funded benefits are being paid.
Are we seeing a raise in benefit abuse or just better diagnose ? I leave you to decide .
