    The figures for PIP fraud are quoted as being so low it is classed at zero. Dig a bit deeper and you find a figure of 0.4% for overpayments. 0.1% of that is DWP errors the vast majority of the rest is down to claimants not reporting a change in circumstances before their review date. Fraud...

    Telling in what way? PIP is not diagnosis based, its based on need and meeting the criteria. You or I could call the doctor today, have a 5 minute appointment and walk out with medication for stress, anxiety or depression without a formal diagnosis or ongoing treatment plan. The bar for that is...

    About time. Wonder if misconduct in public office is just the first step. Bloke should be rotting in jail.

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Having said I was going to watch Small Prophets weekly I got through the whole thing in one sitting at the weekend. Absolutely loved it. Thank fuck they didn't use CGI. Looks like series 2 has been confirmed, no idea where they're going to go with the story but can't wait to find out.

    Not sure what point he's making here? Why wouldn't the company that BCC have a contract with to provide interim accommodation due to the lack of social housing be classed as housing services? If the contact is the best option or value for money is an entirely different issue and the answer to...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not sure it will tbh. There is zero chance the capacity can be found for that volume of formal diagnosis. We can't manage it for people who desperately need it for their treatment plans to be formulated let alone anyone else. So it will have to be done elsewhere in the system. So then the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Took nearly 2 years from me going to the doctors to having my initial assessment, which is only the first step on the road to getting a diagnosis. What are you doing in that time, turning everyone away? Don't claim anything btw, don't think I'm eligible. Pretty sure it's not as easy as some...

    presumably in order to enable this they've got a viable plan to get the waiting lists for mental health services from years to days. or is the suggestion something more like the infamous work capability tests?

    Things that annoy you

    Takes me hours to get to work now. There's no common sense used. Leamington isn't great at the best of times in rush hour but it seems they've decided to have roadworks simultaneously on every route coming from the north side.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Middlesbrough Match Thread - Monday 16th Feb

    Thank fuck for that. Now to get a run going. Where has this team been the last couple of months? Nice to have a couple of things go in our favour for a change. I'd have been fuming if we'd conceded that route one goal. And finally a penalty. Seemed like slow motion waiting for the ref to...

    What I meant was that as a result of the local government reorganisation, which I believe is to resolve the issue of some area's having two tiers of local government, there was concern that we, ie: taxpayers, would be spending a large amount of money holding elections for seats & councils that...

    Which elections are these? Assume we're not spending time on money holding elections for councils that are being abolished in the local government reorganisation!
