When people like op knows that her freind is frauding the system and shares it why do people try to justify it, if they had said her freind is living with her bf but claiming as a single parent she would of got slated and told to shop her freind but someone comes clean and people try to say are you sure have you got it right this is a perfect case of benefit fraud if ever i saw it wake up people and dont try to make it sound ok

You appear to know a lot more that the rest of us.

If the bf has his own place, he is allowed to stay at his girlfriends regularly and go on holiday with her.

A lot of them are well wise to the exact letter of the law and doubtless he will 'live' at his mum's, or a similar address ..... the fact he probably stays with his gf all the time is nothing!

Zoe, I think you're too soft - the Benefit system is not there to give claimants a 'private income' while a partner works or also claims!

I haven't said at any point that it is, as I said earlier, I do not condone benefit fraud.

I'm saying this woman could have done nothing more than find herself a nice bloke that is good with the kids and stays over a bit and the 'friend' is perhaps jealous of this.

Is he supporting her financially? Contributing to the food bill? Contributing to any household bills?

Let's replace the boyfriend with her mum - mum is helping out with the kids, making their tea, staying over a bit to help out - would this be benefit fraud?
