Those benefit applicant questions in full… Can you fart? Starmer waters down benefits checks Prime Minister accused of going easy on welfare cheats to prevent system from collapse Sir Keir Starmer is “watering down” checks on benefit claimants to prevent the welfare system from collapsing under a record backlog of mental health cases. Officials have warned that the welfare assessment system is at risk of “falling over” and there is an immediate need to make changes. They said a “significant and continuing rise” in new Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claimants had contributed to a substantial backlog in reviews. The number of people claiming PIP has reached a record level of 3.9 million, which is costing the taxpayer £26bn a year and is forecast to rise to £41bn by the end of the decade.
