Would you report someone for benefit fraud?

It the man is on the claim the DWP will know from their records so there won't be an investigation so no harm done.

Having said all of that in this scenario I'd be more concerned for the kids welfare.

That makes no sense at all. The underclaimed amounts would still go unclaimed even if the fraud were found out.

I'm one of those who didn't claim when I could, that doesn't mean I accept someone stealing that money for themselves when not entitled to it.

Neither do I Bill if you read my post. My point is that people who think that if there were no benefit fraud, need to take a reality check if they think that the money fraudulently obtained would go into genuine claimants pockets.

I have no petty jealousies either, I do however, have a sense of moral duty.

You don't have to have jealousies to have morals, though.

It's not acceptable at all, but please lets not kid ourselves with the continuous argument that if there was no fraud more money will go back into the genuine claimants pockets.


As stated in my earlier post more money goes unclaimed then that is paid to fraudulent claims.


Unfortunately if there is any spare money in the state coffers, benefit claimants will be a low priorty as to where it would go.

I fully agree.

Fair point, even perhaps into defence spending, a new royal yacht or giving MP's another well deserved pay rise:D.Purely speculative,.At least you tend to agree it wouldn't go back into the genuine claiments pockets.

True. I watched a show where they showed how rich people who get pension, and wanted to return the pension back to the state, had no option. DWP would not take back their pension and said if you dont want it give it to charity.

Well unfortunately you do have to have jealousies to have morals, it's true with most people who get motivated enough.
