..to want to report some people for claiming falsely too much child tax and working tax credits?

[collision]

they drive me mad and i hate the fact that they have actually told me they are scamming the CTC and WTC people.

He earns a fortune in computers and she is a SAHM and pregnant with her 4th.

They are not married and have claimed that she is working a few hours a week with fulltime childcare paid for as his PA. They have given a different address for him so it looks like she is a tenant in his house.

So CTC and WTC think she is struggling to get by on a few hours a week, forking out on nurseries and she will get the full whack of money....over £900 per month.

She drives a 4x4 EVIL Lexus and is always showing off bout the holidays they have and their 6 bedroom house blah blah blah and I think I am going to grass them up.

What do you think?

i know it's annoying and all that, but i would never grass.

Report them, definitely.

We can't all scive off the government without it affecting those who really need help.

Leave well alone, you are reporting them based on what they have said to you, they may well be boasting, taking the mick, making it all up - whatever! Unless you have seen the paperwork/forms relating to their case that reside at the DHS, copies of ALL their finances, details of ALl employment etc then you really have no idea what's going on in their lives.

They may be cheating the system, they may have a complicated set of arrangements, they may eb running up huge debts on credit cards - you just don't know for certain. Grassing people up is not a nice thing to do just because you are jealous.

This happened to someone I knew, her son was in a local feepaying school, and she was spotted at some summer events apparantly 'working' she was reported for benefit fraud because of this and her HB was suspended etc.

Actually her son had won a scholarship as an art student, and the events were a voluntary thing that was part of her p/t degree programme which the benefit office were fully aware she was attending.

I lent her £100 so she and her son could actually eat/have hot water for a month whilst they double checked all her paperwork etc and all because some nosy, malicous, so and so couldnt' keep out of other people's business.
