    He is also remarried and this has nothing to do with relationships

    It is you that needs to calm down, before you do this 'friend' some real harm.

    What does that mean fingledingle- my compliance visit was proved as no action, and I also got an apology from the compliance officer. Think this must be the usuals going round to troll. My original post still stands.

    As Martin says, just advice please.

    Advice is to be sure of your facts before reporting. You clearly are not, and need to take a step back before doing anything rash.

    How did you feel when someone reported you for benefit fraud? Did it make you change your mindset, or did it make your condition worse?

    I am all for reporting benefit fraud where I am certain it is happening. In this case your motivations are all wrong.


    I actually think you need to get your fact right before making generalisations. Original post reported as seems like a lot of animosity on here, which do not need when come for genune advice, re board rules

    You have reported your own post?

    What you are taking as animosity is simply people disagreeing with you. If you post on a forum, you have to accept that not everyone will agree.
