Talk:Disability fraud

Lead and meat of article is based on self published sources and original research, Second section very inaccurate to primary source
All sources and  for the first section seem to be self published sources. Types of fraud section seems to have many inaccuracies and much original research. Ward20 (talk) 09:41, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Globalization
I've added a globalise tag.

The article seems quite US focused with the Types of Fraud section being exclusively US; and Notable Cases being 2 US, 1 UK cases.

I think it happens more widely than the US and is capable of being globalised

Is Disability Fraud only for money?
Wondering about a broadening of the subject matter to include deception for other gain. Examples that occur to me:
 * jumping into reserved parking spaces in US and UK
 * Recent pretense at Expo 2010 to gain loan wheelchairs followed by accelerated pavilion admission
 * I imagine not uncommon at theme parks for people to try to queue jump by faking (and that I could track down references)

Any thoughts?

Prevalence
"[C]onservatives insist [disability insurance] is riddled with fraud, despite lots of evidence to the contrary." -Krugman

No idea if Krugman's right or what body of evidence he's talking about. The article would really benefit from a mix of evidence on the prevalence of fraud from both the right and the left... though maintaining NPOV could be a challenge. Here's a mix:
