Do you have a mental image of posters on here? I imagine that dmg is all leather cat suits and gimp masks, whilst healy wears an Army Jacket and docs, and ONW goes line dancing.

I receive the middle rate of DLA and my granddaughter aged 21 receives Carers Allowance for caring for me. She does a wonderful job and I don't know what I would do without her.

Last year I had a friend come over to stay with me for a holiday. She catered for my needs so my granddaughter got a well earned break.

She decided to do a bit of casual work to earn some extra money for Christmas. Over 4 weeks she worked a total of 55 hours earning a total of £295.

About 4 months later she received a letter from the DSS saying she had committed fraud. We contacted them and explained that she had not given it a thought and had not intentionally tried to defraud. We offered to pay back the whole amount. This was ignored and she was taken before a panel. The outcome of this is that she repays the money (no problem with that). She has been officially cautioned and that caution will stay on her record forever.

This was a genuine oversight on our part and whilst I fully agree that she should repay the extra money she claimed I do not think this "offence" should be on her records forever. She is not a criminal she is a lovely girl who restores your faith in the youngsters of today.

When you think of the thousands of pounds the MP's have claimed over years and what do they get??

A smacked wrist and a huge payoff!! Where is the justice??

Who gave her the caution? When you say this will stay on her record forever do you mean a record the DWP keeps or Criminal Record? Did she accept the caution, as I believe you have to if it from the Police. I apply for CRB's as part of my job and don't recall ever seeing anything about fraud of this kind unless there was a criminal conviction i.e. they were convicted in court. I can have a look through my CRB information for you next week if it would help.

If it is any comfort, I guess its not much help at the moment, when employers receive a CRB disclosure they should have a policy in place about how it is used as offenders should not be punished forever for this sort of offence. In my organisation we will look at each case individually and are prepared to stand by decisions we take. I have given jobs to several people with convictions so don't think she will never get another chance.

No, that's what Robin does when he has had too many.

On that note, I'm going back to join Robin in the pub ... and you all know what we'll be doing later ...
