I am ashamed to say I have a half sister who was a heroin addict, drug dealer, alcoholic.....she now has a partner who works full time but they pretend he doesnt live with her so she can claim full housing/tax/single parent benefit. I am peed off as I and my husband have worked all all lives only to have our house repossessed and husband redundant We now have support for housing but do I shop my half sister??????????????? she is claiming everything and has never worked in her life, a very difficult decision.
