    The OP said this girl was working as a cleaner. I can't see how anyone fit enough to do cleaning work could qualify for DLA. The system is being cheated. Report her.

    My sister gets DLA and she's also a cleaner, in her case she's not cheating the system as her DLA award is lower care for mental health issues (she's got severe OCD) so in this case cleaning is the perfect job for her. Unfortunately she can't see beyond cleaning so needs help to remember to feed herself and her family for instance.
