    You couldn't make this stuff up.My favourite bit of the fake statements is the following.

    Dull Minded DWP Bureaucrat Telling Porky Pies wrote:
    "I didn't have a good reason for not doing it and I was told I'd lose some of my payment. I decided to complete the CV and told my work coach," she says.

    They might as well have made something up along the lines of, "Because I'm a workshy benefit scrounger, I was too lazy to do my CV, so I lost some of my benefits and that gave me an incentive to do as I was told."That is the narrative being set up with such low brow propaganda. It says everything about the attitude of the bueaucrats in the DWP towards the unemployed.
