There's a middle ground between once, 40 years ago, never again, and once every year.

There's a show The Last Leg that talks about the UK procedures along with many other disability issues and hurdles.

Missing limbs don't grow back, Cerebral Palsy is incurable, and so on ... yet year in year out people are facing disruptions and re-checks for the 15th or 16th time now they're 28 .. and on it goes.

How much waste and needless aggro comes about from annual checks, how hard is it to follow through once every five years or even ten on conditions that have been confirmed three or four times already.

> you'll eventually discover double-digit percent of the money is going towards people with fake disabilities,

Yeah ... along with double digit election fraud and other fervid fantasies.
