  It's not just the Conservatives who are putting up the retirement age Paul, Labour said they would years ago.
  
  How much abuse do you think there is in the (benefits) system now Brian ?
  
  There are two different types of payment: Disability Living Allowance and Incapacity Benefit and the second one is paid out almost willy-nilly.
  
  There are people of working age who could work but have somehow acquired Incapacity Benefit from something that may have happened years ago, that they are still claiming for, or they've simply made up an illness.
  We've all heard and seen the stories of benefit cheats who claim money and enter marathons or who are referees etc. these cheats are the ones who need investigating.
  
  People with chronic illnesses like kidney failure and other deseases would love to work and many do, they don't want to vegetate at home, they want to work and be productive.
  
  If the Conservatives have the balls to sort this whole sorry benefit mess out, then I think congratulations are in order; no previous government (Labour or Conservative) have done it - properly.
