A lot of people fake things if it means they can spend a life on benefits.

I knew of a guy who's 87 now, but he spent 1971 (then aged 48) to 2000 on sickness benefits with a 'tennis elbow'. He was also working full time during that period in an auction room where he was moving furniture daily. In 2000 at 65 years old he moved onto State Retirement Pension.

He openly told people there was nothing wrong with his elbow, but it was free money.
