Sorry, I'm at a bit of a loss.
What do personal independance payment (PIP) claims have to do with Aviva? They are a state assessed benefit.
: ) that is comedy genius. He’s read that claims have increased thinking it’s insurance claims but it’s benefit claims. It kind of sums up a lot about the type of people commenting on these message boards though.
What do Pips have to do with Aviva? Bit tenuous but they make up part of the out of control government spending that is being financed by the private sector through corporation tax etc. For over 10 years government debt has risen by over £380m per day! That is £5 per person ffs. When is it going to stop? When the markets refuse to finance the debt and interest rates rise to unsustainable levels - probably year 2 to starmers premiership is my guess.
It is crazy how much tax we all pay, in the State’s eyes all we are is an income stream and a vote. They keep trying to find new ways to tax us, things like ULEZ, carrier bag tax, police speed camera vans everywhere. If they can find to make more money from us all they’ll find out and exploit it.
The Benefits system is a complete joke, I worked for DWP in the past, it’s a disgrace what is allowed to happen, so many people choose a life on benefits and they aren’t much worse off hard honest working people yet have every day off to do as they please. PIP is also a joke, I know someone claiming PIP care and mobility and they walk their two big dogs each day, he’s always washing his car, it’s just totally abused by those who want a free ride.
CJ39, wasn't thinking that so no need for the nasty reply.
That's a huge 68% increase for PIP ~ I'm interested to know if Group Critical Illness will be immune ?
When I read 'PIP Claims' I did think it was insurance, but then I read the article and it was quite obvious what the topic was about.
Of course the tabloid are always banging on about benefit cheats, have been for nearly a century. No doubt the system can be abused, but it's pretty low-level stuff compared to, for example, Baroness Mone and other accomplices of our government.

CJ39 - have you reported this person ?
Re "but it's pretty low-level stuff "
But it ISN'T low level. Whilst the BBC et al love to highlight 'high level' swindlers, the cost to the country is far far greater when the masses of this country and now the world, float in to claim benefits or swindle and use the system to better their lot in life at the cost of those working full time to fund them all.
When those claiming were a lower number, the economy could cope, but now with an endless number with shame now gone, and to declare yourself in poverty acceptable more and more are jumping on the bandwagon and ironically because if you work only 20hrs a week you get your rent and council tax fully or almost so paid, you then get thousands a year in universal credits to replace the old working tax credit and child tax credit, you don't need to pay for dental care, nor prescriptions, they get extra help with food, and energy costs, free school uniforms, and transportation costs to school, and have HALF the week off to work cash in hand, sell dope or just have a pleasant life.
Problem is they won't work more hours as their benefits and rent etc are cut pound for pound, so HMG then allow in more imms to fill the jobs shortage, BUT they need a home, education, healthcare and earn little so are a negative cost.
Far better to make those here work full time, and cut benefits to the bone to stop the worlds chancers copying as they rarely come here for our weather.
Whilst many work, time a house is supplied adding to loss of countryside, it would be far more beneficial to ensure that all our own people work, as THEY are here anyway, and are our responsibility not so the worlds flotsam.
Apologies taskmaster.
