Cheating the public out of their benefits edit
There needs to be sections or one main section detailing the numerous ways the state and subcontractors prevent the public from getting what they're entitled to, either by incompetence or outright deception. Here are some quick links to give a rough idea of the situation.

Disability benefits → Disability payments – This article exclusively discusses financial payments, not other supports given, as the article suggests. On an ethical note, the term "benefit" suggests there's something to be gained from aquiring a disability or an intentional reason to purposefully subject oneself to a disability - this indirectly could support prejudice or hostility against those with disabilities, as it could be seen as questioning the legitimacy or nature of disabilities.
