On the Fiddle - Walking Into Trouble

Across the UK, nearly 3 million people claim disability benefits. Among them are a few who pretend to be disabled when they are not. Benefit fraud investigator Terry follows up a tip-off about a prospective candidate for the Wolverhampton council elections, who has been claiming he is virtually housebound for 28 years. But Terry's surveillance suggests that the man has been lying, and is far fitter than he claims. In another case, Terry focuses on a man who has been claiming he can hardly walk, and catches him going for a leisurely stroll at a local beauty spot. Disability Living Allowance is meant for genuine claimants like Ross Smith, who relies on 24-hour care, and is now preparing to start his first ever paid job.
