    I for one agree with this as someone claiming benefit they aren't entitled to is pure and simple fraud.

    Why would someone waste their time on unfounded accusations if they'll only get a share of the resulting savings?

    Aren't the government the benefit cheats for handing out so much cash in the first place?

    If DWP will give you X% share, then it makes economic sense to go around to the benefits cheats and offer to keep quiet for an X+1% take of their fraudulent income.
    I think I'm seeing an ebay auction coming into focus...

    Ah yes, I see it now :)

    "You are bidding on a prime time chavtastic cheat.
    Figures are only approximate, but we are looking at bogus rent claims, dodgy work patterns, the whole caboodle.

    Shopping the cheat is included.

    Shipping is NOT included.

    Good luck and happy bidding"

    I'd grass up a cheat. Every time.

    I know somebody whose sister has 3 kids by the same bloke, they live together as a family, he works full-time ... yet she's claiming as a single mother and pocketing it all. I only know my mate's first name and town though ... so no chance of grassing them up... but somebody will.
