Celeb benefit cheat

84 replies

I won't name names but a celeb benefit cheat claimed the UC forms were too hard to fill out and she found it difficulty to understand the forms etc.

Think she has a second home (Owned by a few family members) but received £20+k

These weren't pip or any disability benefits.

Aibu in thinking she's lying and not enough checks are being done?

That Lauren ?

Trying not to use her name because it's more the situation and not individual. Courts have delt with it

Not sure Hun. The courts convicted her, not me

Where did you get this information because it doesn’t appear to have been reported

Why is this of interest to people? Have you been drinking in the morning again?

OMG! No way. You wait until I tell Tracey down the road about this. She won't believe it.

What?

I don't want to give her name, I don't want to direct hate. She's been convicted. How she's had two babies whilst having an affair with footballer. She must have lied about that as well

Sounds like a load of chinese whispers to me. You 'think' she has a second home but you don't know for sure. How do you know she claimed benefits?
