Lead and meat of article is based on self published sources and original research, Second section very inaccurate to primary source[edit]

All sources[1] [2] and [3] 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)[reply]

Globalization[edit]

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?[edit]

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 ^[1] 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[edit]

"[C]onservatives insist [disability insurance] is riddled with fraud, despite lots of evidence to the contrary." -Krugman ^[1]

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:

Forbes arguing fraud (maybe the inspiration for the NPR/TAL coverage): http://www.forbes.com/sites/richardfinger/2013/01/14/fraud-and-disability-equal-a-multibillion-dollar-balck-hole-for-taxpayers/#b44a366122b6
