Causing massive distress and making the health worse of those who are claiming all correctly, who then get subjected to really intrusive questioning and undignified testing as to same..
Those who blindly support the Conservatives have no thoughts at all as to what those vulnerable individuals get put through, to in effect save a pittance, whereas as you say tax dodgers and evaders 'rob' the treasury of billions with next to nothing done.
Nor was it done by Labour either over their time in govt;
Hopefully it will be this time.
It is odd how this govt; never makes any major effort to see that people get all the benefits they should be claiming,that they know some should have since it is said there are unclaimed benefits every year that could be.

It is a fact that there are Benefit fraudsters and Tax Dodgers in this country and BOTH need stamping out, And while I agree with you Joey that the Benefit Cheats are 'small fry' in comparison - both Tory and Labour governments will spend greater REAL effort in clamping down on Benefit Cheats because a lot of the Government, their family, friends and 'Business' associates are tax evaders themselves.
Analysis of just how many 'Public Serving' ex-Politicians (of both parties) are now firmly and very lucratively ensconced on the Board of Directors of the Huge Corporations which they promoted or dealt with whilst in Parliament, will astound you and fill 20 odd pages on here.
Does anyone really believe that these self-servers (of both parties) are going to hunt down the very 'tax evading' Business people which they are 'relying on ' for well paid directorships once their political life is over?
More analysis of which ex-politician awarded just what MASSIVE lucrative Government contracts to companies which they now work for , will fill another 10 pages.
It is ALL a GAME.
A corrupt, centuries old game played by those who serve - not the public (cannon fodder) but those who draw up the rules, create the laws and run this country and every other.
The best we can hope for is that one particular political party ACTUALLY does some good whilst they are 'seeing to themselves'.
You just happen to have faith that Labour is THAT party, Kaz has faith it is the Tories, and I - who have lost faith in BOTH - believe it is Farage.
I respect you Joey and admire your passion and selflessness, and believe me or not, I WAS once like you, but age has replaced my passion with cynicism.
