    Interesting, never heard this before. I know I had to give my NI number when I applied for an ISA and to exempt me from paying tax on my interest for my savings account.

    When I applied for my passport 2 years ago, I had to go to an interview. One of the questions was what was my current bank balance? They had the answer there right in front of them

    So you have come here asking for advice on how to commit benefit fraud? This forum is for help with genuine benefit information - not to assist somebody to defraud the system.

    You will be caught though if you try it, it might take a month, it might take a year.....but you will be caught.
