Default Grassing on your benefit fraud neighbours.

We have these awful neighbours. They stare, make comments throw rubbish into our garden and stick nails under our tyres(unproved, but it's them alright)

They're on benefits, he's supposedly disabled and she is down as the carer. They have a brand new mobility car and holiday abroad twice a year.
He's so disabled that he just removed the fence panels and painted them, mows his own lawn and dug a goldfish pond in the back garden last year.
He has threatened us with violence in the past, is fond of a fag and a drink at the local pub where his missus works.

So we've had enough and phoned the benefit fraud section and spoke to them. Initially the bloke didn't seem very interested, but after he did some checking he came back and asked a load of questions, very interested.

I feel no guilt and hope others will do the same to these free loading swine.
That is all.

Nice work. A mate works busting benefit frauds and it's hilarious, one guy with a "bad back" actually broke a couple of weight lifting records!

Good lad

I wonder what percentage of 'benefit' people are fraudulent or taking advantage (i.e. stretching what they should more legitimately get).

Does anyone actually know anyone on benefits that 'deserve' it???

There is a woman down my street ... mobility car ... they installed a disabled parking spot ... now she does have a bit of a hobble, but she seems perfectly mobile to me ... perhaps the hobble is not the disability, just a side effect, but I am not convinced she is THAT bad ...

Oh and you can actually be registered disabled if you are an alcoholic ... as well as other benefits they get £500 a week toward their 'habit' ... boy does that make me mad!!!

Oh and being disabled they are entitled to a motorbility car ... an Alcoholic gets a CAR?!!?!? I don't even care if their 'carer' is sober, but do they really need a car if their lives exist of being down the pub drunk?!?! ...

I wonder if I can list my addiction to speed (the 'need for speed', not the drug ) as a disability ... imagine that ... I get a gixer thou on the gov ... and a fully paid for trackday every week

Benefit fraud is endemic. So much so that there's a regular weekly report in the local rag of all the people convicted of it. Usually about half a dozen a week.
