Fraudulently Claiming Disability Benefit?

There could be numerous explanations for what you are reading.

I am wondering why you are asking this question? Perhaps it would be more constructive to ask her about coping strategies, which could help yourself?

I tried throughout my years at uni to be "normal", trying not to let anyone see that inside i was losing it. Many MI people put on a front.

I did this to the people I live with until the police got involved. (suicide stuff) I was also in denial for ages after that incident and running away a few times.

She often posts photos of herself out with friends and doing these things

How do you know it's her? I could post a picture of someone and claim it's me - not hard to do in the internet.

Im asking these questions because I personally think that she may be committing benefit fraud, that I have considered reporting her for, and I wanted to hear other peoples points of view

I dont feel I need any advice from her, as I have managed to hold down a part time job for 3 years, however much of a struggle it is, and not claim any benefits that I'm not entitled to

yeah I know thats possible,
but she post maybe 5 different pictures a day,
it would be pretty hard to keep up

If you do report her, be aware that if she is genuine, the one thing that is guaranteed to set her back a long way is a DWP investigation. Do you want that on your conscience?

what are you after?do you want us to tell you what you should do?
if so my advice is stop reading her blog and get a life !

You should really keep your nose out - unless you have concrete proof that she's committing fraud. The DWP understand (this is actually written on my award) that people have better and worse days.

I agree that reporting her would be a very serious thing to do
which is why I havnt
I decided to vent my frustrations here instead,
I am not asking to be told what to do,

and I agree that people have better and worse days

It just frustrates me that she can get away with doing what she does,
when many more worthy disablility benefit claims are rejected

You are making a judgment - you do not know that she is 'getting away' with anything.
