Just seen this in the Guardian. A very sad story in which the overpayment of welfare benefits seems incidental.
I have also heard/ read a number of stories lately about claimants who apparently fell foul of ambiguous rules that they didn't understand.
The "living together as husband and wife" regulations have always been extremely subjective, but now a wave of prosecutions seem to be relying on a rather rigid interpretation of them.
I wandered over to NM last night as a result of a (non welfare related) thread here and read some very bewildered threads. It seems unfair to criminalize people in cases of not understanding incredibly nebulous rules.

to think the CPS are waging a kind of war against benefit recipients?
