    Happy Sunday!

    Hope everyone has had a good weekend.

    I need a little advice, I'm in a horrible situations and I don't know what to do.

    I know someone I think is trying to play the benefit system. I believe they are trying to claim things they are not entitlied to be as 'I've paid my taxes all my working life that's what they are for'. There is more to it all, but it's a little complicated, I just don't know what to do. They are apparently to ill to work, and will apparently require disability help, which I have seen no evidence of, and I know I shouldn't judge, but I do spend whole weekends with them and have seen nothing, but they are well enough to run a business from home. Does anyone have any advice on what to do? I am also really worried about the affect it is all having on their child, who to my eyes is being neglected.

    bit of a heavy one for a sunday I know, but it keeps playing on my mind

    thanks

    I personally would report them if I had reasonable suspicion. You can do it anonymously, and if all is well, then no harm done. They wouldn't lose anything they are entitled to.
