I know the circumstances of two people who have made false claims.

I think the
refugee status should be refined.

I never opted to differentiate between a single parent. I referenced young mothers, and maybe I wasn't specific enough before, but I am specifically on about those that are mothers because they couldn't keep their legs closed.
Whilst
accidents can happen, people (couples) shouldn't be thinking of children that soon into a relationship. The number of women I know, or know of that have several children (some by different fathers) in pre school is worrying.

I don't think people are given the chance some of the time. Whilst a disabled person might not be as productive as a normal person, the same can be said of a normal person. In my place of work there are several individuals who will do as little as possible; just enough that they're kept in work, but they'll never go out of their way to help others, or help with the workload etc.
Whilst disabled people may have difficulties, they're no more unproductive as some normal people can be, yet they're not given the chance. I'd argue that they're all thought of as incompetent and unable, when I bet more than a fair number of them would be more than willing to give it 110% compared to an able-bodied person.
