Pretty much that...I think shes basically lying to DWP. She resigned from a good job to look after her 2 kids (nothing wrong with that). Except shes expecting benefits to support her.
Her live-in boyfriend only works part time and is a student, so theres no way he can support them.
I always understood that if you purposely make yourself unemployed, you face a benefits restriction and likely do not qualify for housing benefit (currently being paid to her) or income support. or indeed JSA.
Not sure if I should report her or ask DWP to investigate. Seriously, she got a crisis loan to go out drinking at the weekend.
Not judging, if thats how you want to spend your money, go for it. But at the taxpayers expense?
4 years ago, she was caught fiddling the system, so has form.
So, aibu to report her. shes an neighbour/acquaintence so my info is from her. (yes, she isnt that smart).
