Benefit Fraud

8 replies

Not sure if this is the right place but looking for advice.
Someone I know I'm pretty sure is committing benefit fraud. I think they are claiming alone but have their partner (father of both children) living with her. They have always been on and off for years and he never lived there and stayed at his parents but within the past 6 months he's permanently there. They are together for good now. What would you do? Should I turn a blind eye and leave it or report it?

Most people get caught eventually. . Fraud investigators even spy on fb!!
Even read of them being sent to prison after wedding pics on fb when claiming to be single.

Leave them to it but practice your smug face!!

I would report it. The reason that benefit fraud stays low is that it is policed.

But only report it if you are aware of potential anomalies yourself, directly. Never report hearsay.

roseansrose I've seen it with my own eyes so I know it is true. Plus I know this person has just inherited a lot of money. Not sure if that's been declared but still I feel committing fraud is pretty big!

How do you know they aren't claiming as a couple? Sometimes benefits aren't affected by moving someone in.

Are you a TAX PAYER? Do they have a big fuck off TV?

Well 7 months later I expect the deed is done
