    What ?
    Leave a Pippa Middleton lookalike for someone else ?
    Surely even a fantasy husband wouldn't do that !!!

    (I serious doubt he exists any more than any of the other cast of characters we are hearing about do)

    I know, but I bet Pippa is high maintenance.... :p

    It's worrying to to think that someone would 'think' these things up though! I hope to goodness that these events aren't real. As I can't believe that someone could be so 'sweeping & offensive' over very serious situations..... Mental health, people needing care as they get elderly, as they really aren't things to discuss/judge such as bluelass has.
    Please be nice to all moneysavers!

    Just to let everyone know (including the naysayers). My aunt and cousins have uncovered a fair bit of deceit on my uncles behalf over the course of last week. He had applied for and received high rate disability pay to which he hasn't been entitled eg he told the DWP he needed to be spoon fed, washed etc. One of my cousins found a letter hidden by uncle asking him to go for a interview about his circumstances dated last October. When my cousin spoke to someone about this over the phone he was told that my uncle had been caught telling DWP untruths and they require him to go in to see them. Not only this but the lady whom had been helping him to the toilet in the pub had been bathing him once a week whilst aunt was at a social club. He had told the lady no one in the family cared about him and my cousins discovered she is the partner of the landlord of the pub uncle went to. Im told she is very upset about being made a fool of and the landlord has asked my uncle not to return. He had made out he was a hard done by old man when nothing could have been further from the truth. My aunt has decided to split from him and as they own their ex council house will have to seek some legal advice. And she has applied for a lovely apartment in a newly built block for the over 60s nearby.

    It would have been very wrong of anyone at the DWP to have told someone's son about the details of their claim.

    Regardless of anything else in this thread, I still don't believe the bit about the landlady of the pub toileting and bathing him.

    The OPs threads always go the same way. She starts by making sweeping, judgmental claims about another person's behaviour and is then challenged by posters, the majority of who disagree with or question her interpretations and assumptions. She then returns and posts about the "latest incident" which always seem to lend weight to her initial assertions. How very convenient.

    Repeat what I posted previously, though this is the most improbable "See, I told you I was right" to date.
