i actually work in benefits
(for obvious reasons can't say which
) & majority of the "small fish" do get caught...just takes a while.
the main thing at the minute is organised fraud...people/gangster's/firms are running "companies" to defraud the state systems out of tens of millions of pounds every year...this is the tax payers money...YOUR MONEY!!
there are genuine people out there who need these benefits...whilst others do jack **** and claim for anything & everything.
so my opinion on this is...if u know someone is doing it...GRASS EM UP!
as far as grassing in work...depends on severity doesn't it? as i said i work in benefits, if someone is actually helping people to defraud the system, then they should be shopped as well...thieving's thieving - whether its from the local shop, your car/bike, the government, employer etc.
this country is backward in the way benefits are given...far too trustworthy.
can't go into specific details - but people often call & ask - if this happens to me / if i have a child / if i separate from my partner etc etc, how much money can i claim for! people actually base their future & other peoples futures on how much they can claim.
i hope if u ever had any doubts about shopping these people, that this has changed your minds...if not then u might as well join them, cos u are just as bad if u know someone is doing it but don't do anything yourself.
