Report A Benefits Cheat Or Not??

[scottishmist]

I have a “friend” who I know for sure is claiming benefits she is not entitled to because she has told me.
She is self-employed but only declares a certain amount she earns. She is also living with her partner and has been for at least 3/4 years, although she is claiming to be single.
She has just bought a car and booked a holiday abroad. For her 40th birthday four years ago she went on a Caribbean crusie - even though she was claiming working tax credit and housing benefit.
I feel what she is doing is morally wrong and as she has no children it’s not like she’s doing it for them. That being said am I just jealous because I can’t afford a car or foreign holiday? even though myself and my partner are working full time.
It's winding me up because she one minute she says how she's struggling to make ends meet and the next she's booked a holiday and buying bottles of champagne in Waitrose!!
Should I report her or not?

Here you go , this is the on-line benefit fraud report site

https://secure.dwp.gov.uk/benefitfraud/
If you use this you do not even have to give your name or speak to anyone it is guaranteed 100% anonymous.
Do it now, if there is nothing wrong nothing will happen to her .
Tell them she has a live in partner and give his name and the address he uses for electoral roll registration.

My sister and I know of a person - who is throwing money away. She supports 7 children who are in fact adults.

Plasma TVs, furniture, paint and paper, fireplaces on the ground, fireplaces on the wall and the same for herself.

Also her children flit from flat to flat but don't declare the last flat empty so now she is "looking" after 3 flats.

She is deffo NOT doing drugs but because it is so plentiful to her I think she has bought property which would give a steady income./

Also she has been on 4 holidays this year and bought a caravan and bought two expensive dogs.

However, if I do hear that she is renting the flats of her children I will do something. It is so not fair.
