    merlin you maybe right, i maybe should get out more, maybe the do have things on tick...

    she wouldnt have anything that was second hand, she has already said i won't have scabby seconds (her words) she likes everything brand new with labels...

    Just seems the amount they are getting must all go on apr and paying back all this stuff on tick.

    for someone who pays for ready made foods because she cant and wont cook, again not an assumption, she said so... over the odds on food bills..

    its just doesn't add up. something isnt right.

  • You seem to know an awful lot about the next door neighbours! You've reported them - let that be the end of it. They have a right to live how they want, without you looking over the fence and posting their lives on the internet. If they are on the fiddle, then you've done your bit, they will get caught.

    Maybe you should focus your energy on your own situation

    you have said that you suspect them of benefit fraud, and have reported them.
    fair enough, no one should be claiming benefits that they arent entitled to.

    but to criticise her for not cooking........that is really none of your business.

    Perhaps they know what your like and have said all this to wind you up. I know I would if I knew I had a nosy neighbour.
    When they find out they have been reported. You might look rather silly.

    thanks both of you for your input, as you have suggested, i've said my bit, i shall bow out..

    Yes nanny maybe a bit below the belt about the cooking, but when she tells every one, one of her children has adhd and then later admits that no doctor/specialist has ever seen the child for it, i did suggest to her that if she thought it might be adhd, then perhaps she should get an expert to look at him.. when in reality its lack of nutriants and all the junk food she feeds them..

    maybe, if they are in the wrong so be it, if there arent so be it again..

    we could go round and round in circles, just love the jumping on bandwaggons, ;)

    even dla asked did i want my care needs upped for night time, would of meant more money, i declined, as i didn't need or want it. doesn't sound right coming from someone you think is 'maximising' do you.

    DLA asked you if you wanted more money? When/how did they ask? Normally that is done by a DM on renewal or claim, and they don't generally ask if you want your care needs upping, they just increase the award and send the appropriate letter out.

    Are you saying a DM actually asked you?

    I rang them when i got my MS diagnosis to keep them up to date, no word of a lie, she asked did i want my care needs updated to enclude night time, i said no, as i felt i didn't need the extra care at night, i still feel i don't need the extra care at night...

    I don't know what job role she had, i didnt think to ask, all i wanted to do is to ring up and confirm information.

    Mupette wouldn't you be annoyed if the boot was on the other foot and your neighbour was twitching the curtains trying to catch you on a 'good day' so they could claim that you were well enough to work?

    Why not concentrate on your wedding planning and not on what other people are doing :D
