A brick wall has been written on with white chalk. The first line reads, "Asylum Seeker benefits cost UK £60m/year, equivalent to £2/year per taxpayer." The second line reads, "Benefit Fraud/Error costs £3 BILLION/year, £100/year per taxpayer." The third line reads, "Tax Avoidance costs £90 BILLION/year, £3000/year per taxpayer." The final line reads, "Why are the Right-Wing only screaming about the first one?" Above the brick wall is the lower portion of a brick building with a few windows.

Well said. It is about time we all started to challenged the narrative of health benefits being a lifestyle choice.

I think the way the DWP operates to lie about benefits is a type of #benefitfraud. I have caught them out in so many lies. And your document helps. Thanks

The ONLY actual story is the #BenefitFraud by #PrivateLandlords claiming #DisabledFacilitiesGrants while having NO #DisabledTenants & fully intending to keep it that way. #Landlords claim millions to boost their property value & then rent ONLY to people who don't claim benefits

THAT'S the story!

United Response, a learning disability charity, criticised Reeves for talking about the need for a crackdown on benefit fraud. Sapphire Beamish, its head of communications, said:
 It is a poor decision to continue the rhetoric around tightening work capability assessments alongside a ‘crackdown on fraud’.

The negative framing on welfare continues to inflict stigma and increase the worry for people with a learning disability who are left feeling let down that the focus is on saving money over supporting disabled people.

James Taylor, executive director of strategy at disability equality charity Scope, welcomed investment in localised employment support for disabled people, but added:

44 Bringing in changes based on savings, not on supporting disabled people, will be disastrous.

Ramping up restrictions won’t help support more disabled people into work, it will only make their lives harder.

Brewer also echoes the concerns voiced by welfare charities today (see previous post), saying:

 “And while the Chancellor has confronted Britain’s austerity challenge, she has kicked the can down the road on Britain’s equally pressing poverty challenge until next Spring at the earliest.

A failure to reverse damaging welfare cuts could see over 200,000 more children affected by the two-child limit.”
