I know someone who's cheating the benefit system...

Even though what she's doing is really wrong, no one likes a snitch. Sooner or later her life will be ****ed anyway. It sounds like it already is to me, tbh

Also, she was your best friend. Again, I say what she is doing is wrong but if you report her, that'll make you a snake imo.

Does she have kids? think long and hard before reporting her. I personally would not do it.

What planet are you living on?

I USED to be friends with this woman.
seriously, can people not read?

'you are friend with her!!!'

no. i am not. when did i say this?

I've been looking for a few days for the best place to post this, I decided here - but with a risk, seeing as I can't post Anon here...

I know a woman who's about in her late 30's, I used to be friends with her. We were into the same music, so if we weren't wasted at a gig, we'd be at hers drunk I met her via my Mum, they were into the same music, too.

My Mum never thought about this seriously because they were best friends, but I've recently realised, this woman has been claiming full disability benefits (calming that she's 'physically' ill and can't move) for at LEAST the last 4 years.
She is in no was physically disabled, and all she spends her benefit money on is gigs and alcohol.

I know I should tell someone about this, because she's cheating the system. And I know that my Mum would support me if I did, it's just the doing it first that's the problem....
anyone know who/where i should call to report this kind of thing?
or does anyone think i shouldn't report this king of thing?!

thank you

Okay, well I'm just going to let you guys know that I have reported this woman.

Maybe this makes me a 'snitch', 'snake' 'grass' ect.

I know this woman, and I know she does not have a disability - mental or physical - and I refuse to work to pay taxes that will fund her lazy lifestyle.

I will not be continue to be called names because of this. If it were someone who didn't deserve housing benefit, would you let your mum pay for it?

I refuse to berated this.

Call me a snake, or a grass, whatever you want, benefit fraud is benefit fraud.
It's fraudulently taking money off of the government.

This woman is doing it weather you like it or not.

Let me guess, you are in secondary school?

Well it was your decision. The only question I would ask is how you categorically know that she doesn't have a disability?

wow I agree with this so true about the bankers did you know that people are paying more taxes while the bonuses bankers gets are increasing but as you tory and labour don't want to chase them up they want to increase the gulf between the rich and poor.....disgusting!!!

...... what?

Because I spent pretty much a whole year - non stop - with her....

Its a joke like. The politicians look down their noses at people who scam the system. But the politicians have never been in that situation since they're all rich private school boys who go to Eton and Oxford.
Makes me sick to see them on tv trying to criminalise working class people who scam the system to survive when their banker and big business mates scammed the system so much that it caused an economic recession! Then they had the cheek to get us, the working class to bail them out!

Even still, you should still have some loyalty.

I haven’t seen a thread that has made me this angry in quite a while. I just think some people get a kick out of reporting and thus watching someone be prosecuted. Not necessarily saying that is what is happening here..

Dunno why someone negged you for this, as it is actually the case. Anyway, I repped you to balance it out.

Guess some people aren't so clued up.
