    I dont understand Slimming Susan as she is in the Support Group for mental health problems.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    I think the OP comes across as pretty vindictive.

    I do hope she reconsiders her decision to report this person.

    If I report someone online for benefit fraud, can the person I reported trace it back?

    Not bothered about authorities as this is genuine.

    Makes me so angry. He has never worked since school and is now in late 40's

    Wasmy first boyfriend at age about 14, and went into a local hospital to have electric shock treatment for depression.

    Has never worked since, had the same high level primary education to me, has greater self esteem,

    My problem is that have just had a virtual conversation with him, has told me he does not like change, ranted that the government have suddenly run out of money and now think he has to work after over 20 years of 'them telling him he was not fit to work'




    vid. He knows how to play the system, this has become his life.He is very fit for work.I know him well as he has confided in me.

    He is intelligent, articulate, plays games on facebook all day.

    I cannot sit and watch this anymore.

    Why are you so sure this is fraud. he had electric shock treatment when he was 14, things were different then and it could well have
    ruined him for life, and if as you say he is now ranting that he has been judged to be fit for work, whats your problem as his benefit will be stopped.
