    Remember though some benefits are non-means tested , so matter what they have in cash/assets they can still get say incapacity benefit

    i doubt that any benefit will allow you to have this many houses.
  • Thanks, I'm glad you are feeling the same way as I am.

    It's a sign of the good-nature of the people i live with that we haven't paid to have them done over. The benefit cheating is the icing on the cake and hopefully their downfall.

    My friend knows an ex-footballer who gets his rather nice flat paid for by housing benefit. The amount some people are fiddling is pretty much the same as our tax-bills for the year....in other words non of our taxes is helping society it's going straight to benefits cheats!!

    but if their non-means tested they don't look at assets at all - they look as whether that person is incapacitated - reviewed annually
