Ive Just shopped someone for benefit fraud, do I deserve to burn in hell.

[Gulitladen]

I feel quite bad.

This person is an acquaintance, She was a single parent for a few months, then she met someone who pretty much moved in, he was paying her bills for her and moved in properly earlier this year.

She has always worked full time with a salary of around 20k.

She seems to have an awful lot of money, and, as a single parent myself, I couldnt quite work it out. However, I have seen her tax credits renewal form as she didnt understand something and asked me to have a look for her, and shes claiming to be a lone parent, working 16.3 hours a week, earning 12k a year less than she actually is.

She is also claiming housing benefit as a single parent.

So, I have completed the DWP form and sent it off. I couldnt help it, it makes me see red.

But I now feel terrible.

If you're that jealous do the same as her.

What a ridiculous statement. Do the same as her? What declare 16 hrs a single parent and move my working boyfriend in

It no wonder people get flak for claiming

I wouldn't do but to my friends who live together and work min wage jobs and are just over the threshold so can't claim much. I wouldn't take the pics out of them. I'm better off than them and get enough to live on working 16 hrs, getting wtc and help with my rent.

Pics = piss

That hasn't been said, words Are being twisted to change the debate into something else.

We should be able to discuss society without being accused of bigotry where none has been mentioned.

WooWoo I found nothing offensive in your posts.

Some do like to twist things in a bid to win their argument/throw buns/derail the thread.

I think there's a difference between caring for a disabled adult and disabled children.

Are there figures that provide evidence as to how much parents in general save the government by looking after their own non disabled or mildly disabled children?

what a lovely post
you must feel so good to look down your nose at people who ulinke you are not super human, and need support.
I would love to know what you class as mildly disabled
(disclaimer I know my child falls into the category of being the kind you would deem so disabled that they should be helped)
this sort of poster is why threads like this end up about "the disabled" because you always get someone who writes crap.

Sorry what is disabilist about that post?

This thread is still going! I am 100% sure it's bullshit!

Aside from what I said about the tax credits using p60's etc (which they do for me so it's spot on) how would she lie to the housing benefit people about her income?! You have to provide payslips to prove it! And every so often they do random spot checks and randomly ask for another few recent ones just to make sure your keeping them updated on your earnings. Tax credits even inform my council everytime my tx goes up or down so i get a revised hb letter. I don't see how you could do the earnings thing at all sorry. The only thing I could believe is the partner living there but the rest they are pretty strict on now.

i never called the post disablist
i would like clarification on what she means by mildly disabled

I think perhaps if you asked her that in a more reasonable way she would be willing to answer it!

Surely you are aware of the difference between someone who is severely disabled and someone who is mildy disabled? Or are we not allowed to specify now, can we only speak of 'the disabled' as robots who have no different abilities or qualities. Ironically this is considered non disabilist is it?

So people defrauding the government and the taxpayers via the benefits system are doing no wrong because it's only a tiny fraction of the benefits bill therefore unimportant?

So if people were defrauding 20% of the benefits budget in exactly the same way that would be okay too? Or not?

Curious logic

May I be bold and ask you o.p. Do you not think your user name Iw ridiculously unfitting. You're not guiltlaiden at all you're gloated.
Karma is watching and waiting and one day when you least expect it, she will get you. She always does.

I always write off people's opinions when they believe in karma.

Karma, for doing the right thing! I do not agree, if only more people had the guts to do it, maybe we would be in a better state of affairs.

I am sick of people living off me.

I think lifehasafunnyway has a point... as I said in my thread earlier, the man who maliciously accused my parents of benefits fraud has just been found guilty of fraud and his business has been closed down, he's lost his house and his reputation in the community. It may not be karma, but it's great

Write off my opinion happy. I care not, but I have witnessed karma first hand.

Moomin. I love karma, she's fab.x

Karma is offensive nonsense - it is basically the belief that if anything bad happens to you, you must have deserved it. It is a pretty vile mindset, really.

Moomin the man who accused your parents was obviously guilty of fraud, that is why he lost his business - he did wrong and he got caught. No karma or woo in that.

ICanHearYou please stop it. I am asking someone a question, they have posted something that requires this.
I understand only to well the different levels of disability, But I have a feeling that poster doesn't. so I asked. Unless you are the same poster why are you so concerned?

Write off my opinion happy. I care not, but I have witnessed karma first hand.

It's clear the detractors on here are benefit claimants who are happily doing their own bit of fiddling! Twisting the OPs words and motives to suit their own agenda.

The hard working people, especially on low wages, paying tax and struggling to make ends meet are the ones who think thieving benefit cheats deserve to be informed on.

Clearly benefit cheating is alive and well if the number of negative posts on this thread is anything to go on.

Are you quite certain it's karma lifehasafunnywayofhelpinguout?

Could it not be something else? My mum died of cancer aged sixty, and she had never reported anyone for benefit fraud.

That's a nice assumption, Wrightstuff, but I assure you I'm not fiddling anything, nor am I on any more benefits than a lot of parents claim.
