Closed AGAINST RIOTERS CLAIMING DISABILITY BENEFITS

Closed on

The DWP should investigate all the rioters and looters that are found guilty in our courts to see if they are claiming Disability Living allowance, Incapacity Benefits and Employment and Support allowance. If they are well enough to be out commiting crime until the early hours of the morning, the are well enough to work.
The Government should make the DWP an integral part of the process for assisting in the punishment of these offenders.
