Hi @Pollycat thanks for the information… I am trying to find information to get him to commit fraud but to seek advice on to give him so he doesn’t try such a silly mistake and think he can try pull a fast one… Of course no on would hide money for him as that’s easily tracked from what I have read on here… And anyway what person would do that anyway… But I thank you for your comment…

I'm not sure where your bro-in-law lives but you can always phone their benefits helpline for

puka advice. You can give them your details or not, it is up to you.

Seek clarification/confirmation in writing but I guess that can only

happen with the full name/details etc.

Unsure what exactly he is claiming, but if he has any debts or a mortgage or needs house improvements, that's acceptable to do. But depending on if he's on all income-related benefits or has a contribution entitlement.

he’s claiming housing benefit, Universal credit… Nothing like PIP or for health… Don’t think he has any debt and he rents his home from the local housing authority… I think people are right on here he will either have to work to pay for rent etc etc or live off the funds until they lower to £16.000 and then reclaim… People have been so helpful on here…

Probably best to visit the local citizen advice, and they'll give him his best options on how to deal with it. But your wife was right to refuse; everything has a paper trail, and she would be liable also.
