I CAN'T contain my joy after hearing that the Government is to clamp down on the incapacity benefit. This will sort out the cheats who have for too long pretended they are sick so that they don't have to work.

I could never understand why someone on incapacity benefit should be paid more than someone on unemployment benefit. This was the reason why so many went on the sick.

I hope that now their days of golf courses are over and they can start on work courses.
