Report them they need to be found out and benefits stopped.

How do you know that its the first time shes done it.

Have reported in the past, have no guilty feelings about doing it would do it again without hesitation.

errr are we talking o thousands of £s..like some do,,then thats what I call real cheating,,enough for a cheap 2 week break aint even gona cause a ripple to what some get away with,,

Its wrong and she shoulnt be doing it,,if shes found out only she will pay the price of loss of benifits,,,but benifits do allow you to work but stop £1 for each £1 earned over the limit,,,,,,,,if shes a constant cheat then she shoudlnt keep getting away with it,,,,,,,,,,report her if you feel strong enough about it,,,

There is no work ethic nowadays, if people can get away with it then they will, the problem with the system, is the system .

What gets to me is that working families tax encourages people to work, I feel in a lot of cases { NOT ALL} it is easier not to work and thats whats going wrong in our country,


Waits for onslaught,

Why is her boyfriend out of work? Is it genuine or laziness? Even when both worked we earned so little that we needed rent allowance, and though we could afford aholiday now, after not having one for 30 yrs, we have got out of the way of wanting one. We have half-days out when we feel like it. Jean

Ok Eldrick, I agree,I have confused people.


I feel strongly but dont know what to do, I didnt feel I could say much as a member of staff and thats partly why I posted.

It is very hard to watch someone with a better lifestyle who is cheating the system,

I might sound unsympathetic, but if your son is joining the specials - or is trying to - then you have an idea of what he will be faced with all the time.

Wheter they follow it up or not is up to them. Get her reported. Its a cop out to tell everyone then do nowt about it :-)

Hi Caz

If it was me I'd phone the hotline.

I think it's bad enough that people defraud a system that's there to help people who genuinely are in need (and I don't mind paying taxes to support those people)

but to boast about it as well is stupid, insensitive, and deserves a dobbing in as far as I'm concerned.

The clue was in your question Caz - conscience - some people just don't have one.

Surely, if some one defrauds the system, then they should except the consequences.

As someone who used to work in the Benefits Office, I know their attitude towards the claimants. I resigned because of it.

If I was in your position I would now say good luck to the lass.

Report her.

If you don't, then you cant put your hand on your heart in the future and complain about benefit fraud.
