To report dishonestly claiming PIP benefit

81 replies

she is dishonestly claiming high rate daily and high rate mobility PIP allowance. She exaggerates all her ‘illnesses’ and ‘pain’ to ensure she keeps this allowance. I have heard this from her own mouth that she is NOT entitled to high rate of daily or mobility allowance. She has been reported before and manages to lie her way out of it. constantly lying about what she can and cannot do - which from my experience around her she can achieve it all. She walks her kids to school over 2 miles a day, she does all the house shopping, she jumps around on the kids trampoline, she takes the 2 dogs for a walk every week, she has 2 younger children at home that she can physically cope with on her own.

should I report her?

You sound a bit scary.

I would say, over invested. I personally have yet to meet anybody who is so free, and open about the fact that they are scamming the PIP system. I should maybe go down the local pub!

I agree. I've never heard of anyone running around saying 'i don't need pip, I don't need pip.' I think op has some kind of beef with the person whether imagined or real and has been nosying into their life.

Exactly @Mariay . If ever I did come across someone loudly bragging in such a manner, I honestly would assume, rightly, or wrongly, that they were having some type of manic episode, where they might believe everything that they are saying, but are in fact in a vulnerable state of being. The last thing I would be looking to do though, is report them. It is not normal behaviour, to go around saying such things.

Agreed and yet at least once a week on here ,Someone knows somebody who openly tells all and sundry, they are scamming the system and get PIP for absolutely no reason

I know@x2boys. I find it rather tedious, as it all just rings as being a lot of made up nonsense.
