Reporting benefit fraud - dilemma


Recommended Posts

Benefit cheating = wrong

 

Grassing = wrong (especially if they find out it was you)

 

now... lets look at the real situation...

 

People on benefits are squeezed to (and past) the limit.

 

And ANYONE who finds themselves in that situation will do things to look after themselves and their family which are not exactly "legal".

 

Before you condemn these people for "benefit fraud" or whatever....

 

The alternative will probably be that they are burgling/robbing/mugging people.

 

And it won't be the people who tell you how you should report them, it'll be more likely YOU or people like you.

 

The "right" thing to do is not always the best thing to do.

 

 

This is not an ideal world unfortunately.

I am in a similar position to the OP. I suspect some government ministers who live near me are siphoning off billions in tax money and giving it to failed bankers who are using it to pay themselves massive bonuses. Is there some hotline I can phone to report this abuse?

I'm sure I read something on here that Sheffield's benefit fraud investigation team had been disbanded in order to help process new claims. So even if you do grass him up I doubt much will be done.

 

I saw that too, something about they wouldn't be investigating fraud any more?
