I was aware, back in the 90s, of a compensation scheme for miners with some kind of medical condition. This article suggests that 4 billion was paid out, and some solicitors were sruck off for claiming too much. More of the same?

Oh bugger.
I misread it as PI (personal injury).

Personally I believe in taking what you need ~ not what you want.
I'm not even tempted to steal from anyone or a shop. I'd never forgive myself
Insurance companies kind of pushed the claims for whiplash and insurance on the whole needs an overhaul.
Comet Electricals used to be the worst for following you around the store and trying to flog insurance with every purchase you'd make.
Just give me my toaster and fuck off!

Payment Protection Insurance is different, although I agree there has become an industry for rogue agents to make bogus claims - on behalf of clients.
Large companies - mainly banks - illegally insisted that borrowers took out (and paid for) the protection, before a loan was granted.
Totally black and white; you either had it or you didn't - and the loan statement will usually evidence what happened.
False allegations about sexual abuse and even whiplash injuries are more serious and difficult matters.
