There is this one person that says that she is on her own on forms, these are benefit forms, she works as well as has children and her partner lives with her.Here in the uk, if you are classed as on your own then you get a rent rebate, plus other rebates and money sometimes off your electric.On top of that you get more child tax credit, plus a loan parent benefit, plus you can also claim free school meals.I can really see why this country has no money, but this person, has now been named to the benefits office, well they were named a month ago and now the person will soon be watched, then they will be also made to pay it all back, plus get a fine and can also be evicted from the house they have been living in,I have left my name, as well as contact details, that way if they want any details other than what they have I can give them to them.I know that these benefits people look in a house to see if there are any items that are not the lone parents and that is how they also get a fine and in trouble for fraud, as this happened to another person that was dobbed in.

So is this partner her children's dad? Are they married? I would wonder if he isn't either of these then I can understand why she fills out these benefit forms the way she does. If she is married then she should be fined.

Stuff like this happens in the states,too! There are so many people on benifits and assisstence that should not be is crazy! Some people get caught but not all the time! Then there are woman,with kids, who will get a job,then quit because it is easier to be on welfare! I have a friend who's sister is like that! It makes me sick! Are welfare system is a mess and needs an overhaul!

Yeah unfortunately so many people take advantage of the system. There are many people who do things like that. But the system itself is really backwards as well. I think those who work hard and pay their own bills, who are responsible individuals should get assistance. Instead their are individuals like you mentioned who do things like that. Well she will get punishment for what she has done. Which makes since she should have been honest.
