Is this Benefit Fraud??

[Sixer]

To take in french students and others people ironing whilst receiving benefits.

Sixer, i would report it anonymously. You don't need evidence - that's for dwp to deal with - but you have reasonable grounds for suspicion.

Benefit fraud is stealing. I'm on benefits, yes it's hard to make ends meet, but stealing is wrong. Full stop. If she's doing nothing wrong, no problem, she may never even know she's been reported.

Imagine if every benefit claimant got a few pounds more than they sjould! Tax woukd go through the roof.

at least the women is working for it!!
i am in a position similar a neighbour who i speak to daily gets 285 pounds per week her rent paid and her council tax paid and does not work at all she has just got a job earning 1300 per month but has turned it down as decided its not worth it.
Dont know how she gets all that money think it was from when she used to work and it was for her child tax credits
Dh thinks we should shop her but i feel bad as dd plays with her ds and he would proberbly be the one to suffer

This sort of thing makes me sick. Why should my children go without to pay for other people's children?

Report her - let the Social Security look into it and if she hasn't got anything to hide then it shouldn't be a problem to her. Too much sympathy for these people - it is a safety net, not a bloody meal ticket.

She might be declaring it though... My mum works in a shop, and gets income support, she sends her wage slips in every month and then they average her income support out,so if people didn't know everything about her they might think she's commiting fraud do but she's not!

If she's not no harm will come of reporting it - she'll have nothing to hide.

Learn to mind your own business. Whatever happened to the fundamental principle of English law: that a person is innocent until proven guilty? There is a current horrible culture of automatically thinking the worst of everyone else (they are all frauds/terrorists/immigrants/pedafils) on the strenght of fuck all evidence.

ELR - what exactly would you report her for - you said shes not working?

when someone is on Income Support or Incapacity Benefit they can work 16 hours per week as long as they dont earn more than £88 per week.

Reporting her does not mean she's guilty. It'll just mean they check she's getting the correct money, which is important if she is working. She might even be getting more thn she should without realising, in which case the soooner she find out the better as she'll have to pay in back. If they find nothing wrong, they may never contact her at all and she can carry on ironing to her hearts content.
