Hey - make friends with the chinese delivery man. My mate does delivery and i get 50% off

As for the OP try not to let it bother you. I know it's easier said than done but you obviously have a very nice life and she is not worth your energy. As a Trainee Probation Officer (my full-time job) i saw many a people through the doors for benefit fraud. It is unlikely she will get away with it for long....... but if it would help you to feel any better then report her for her OH living there and working, but you have to ask yourself would it make any difference to how you are feeling now. If yes go ahead if no it isn't worth the energy- perhaps point her in the MSE direction to get her lifestyle straight he he - takeaway every night!!!! We'll sort her out lol

There might be improvements that can be made to the system, I don't want a system that would make it impossible for someone to cheat because that would be a system that would be difficult for genuine claimants to get what they deserve. Cheats should not be allowed to defraud the state because 'the system' allows them to do so.loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.0 -
By the way, its not the fact she 'may' be disabled. its the fact she said her other half is not suppossed to be living there. She is a benefit fraudster if this is the case, and the dss will send investigators and catch her out. I have a friend this happened to.
So all the sympathetic ones can stop moaning because she admitted she is fiddling the system, reagrdless wether she 'might' be unable to work.Total Debt -was £14,700 aprox NOW £13,835
Paying each month-800-850 (hopefully)
Hope to be debt free about aug 20100
