  Some DS users seem to assume that IDS sits at his desk, choosing people to torment.
  
  In fact certain people find a case out of millions and use it to try and give the impression it is widespread.

  
  It's not an impression, it's a fact!

  it would seem to depend on whether you qualify for the contributions based version. Which seems unfair given the very good reasons many people would have for not qualifying.They seem to adopt the principal of you need to apy in to take out when it suits them and then ignore wheher you have paid in when it suits them elsewhere.
