Tinnitus Fake Car Insurance Claims

I've just come across a disturbing article that states some unscrupulous people are making fake tinnitus car crash injury claims as opposed to fake whiplash injury claims as this apparently pays out more. This will, of course, drive up (forgive the pun) insurance premium costs.

I sincerely hope that this doesn't give all of us genuine sufferers a bad name.

Respectfully submitted,

Just read the article. Payouts of between 6,000 and 40,000.

Reasoning - its not curable and usually a lifelong condition.

Pity the Dept of Work and Pensions don't see it that way !!
