We had to fill in one of these forms earlier in the week and were amazed by some of the questions it asked. Then even more amazed at the mountain of ID and other documents they wanted to see. It makes you wonder how anyone can fraudulently claim this benefit, where would they get all these fake documents from?
Its to be clear to people that if they lie and own a property thats fraud. If the question wasn't there fraud esters would declare indignantly that they didn't know they couldn't own a property and get the benefit.
