When I describe people as exploiting or misusing welfare they may well be staying within the parameters of their legal entitlements. <br /><br />But they don't merit assistance and make it harder for genuine cases.Lindsay Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04437693272797130833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-42873081187723569492013-07-27T12:10:47.032+12:002013-07-27T12:10:47.032+12:00And another one:

There is criteria to be met so that people DON'T rip off the system so yes sometimes you have to provide evidence of your circumstances. Giving away money is a big deal so yep you gotta prove you're entitled otherwise there would be even more benefit fraud.S.

Work and Income shift staff around all the time and staff are constantly drowning in workload - nothing new hear.<br /><br />As for your CM, not sure how seriously anyone can take a comment from someone who's handle is named after a sociopathic Mexican drug kingpin, especially given the nature of the story.<br /><br />This from "Melcraig" in reply:<br />Speaking of nasty pieces of work... I have been in the horrible position of needing to deal with WINZ, and while some of the staff were lovely, a large portion really were, in your words, nasty pieces of work.S.

The use of the word "client" is in itself a misnomer in this context. "Client" to me suggests a party who orders and pays for a commodity or a service. Recipient is a preferable term.<br /><br />CadwalladerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
