It would help if you knew the information that is to be collected before jumping to the conclusion that it will be used against you.
Surely if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear. This being the case you would have nothing to lose by participating and could possibly help bring about a positive improvement in the service.
Show us something lately that has been used to benefit the disabled, rather than just strip what told entitled to by law previously. Perhaps they/gov would do better researching why people defraud tax credits to better put in place protection to prevent such temptations !!!!!
There is no turn around realising they have hurt genuine claimants, they dont care as long as the figures show what they want, the daily mail stereotype. Not worth the stress getting involved when we have breathing for instance to concentrate on.
I say avoid too.0 -

Thats not how things operate with the welfare system in this country.[greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.

The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
and we should be deeply worried about that[/redtitle](house of lords debate, talking about Cameron)0 -

Having experienced how the welfare system works both as a customer and an employee I'm inclined to agree. However, ignoring an opportunity to voice your displeasure with the system only helps maintain the status quo.
You can't change the system by staying silent, you need to voice your opinion if you want it to be heard and this is an opportunity to do that.0
