Benefit Fraud

How many of us know someone who is working but claiming they are not? If they are a good friend should we report it? What if they find out and you loose a friendship? Can you honestly say that you would give them that money out of your own account? I guess it would be a no so why do so many of us turn a blind eye?

It is a serious issue that can no longer be ignored. Our country should not be simply keeping people who could be working or even worse have no real need to be claiming benefits as they have more than enough money to live off in savings or from undeclared work.

If you are a benefit fraudster then shame on you. I have worked and supported myself and my family all my life, my parents were the same before me. The stay at home ethic that is so commonplace in this country with many individuals needs to be tackled by all of us.

Stop this fraud before the country and you are drained of all all the assets that could be better spent on the health service or providing help and support for those who cannot work and genuinely need the assistance.
