    Hi,

    I am just wondering how the government check for fraud for people claiming social welfare and working? I know someone who is claiming job seekers allowance and saying that he is only working one or two days a week but also working a full time job. Do the government not look at what tax a person is paying and from that not work out how much they are earning? Are there no systems in place to stop this? Do they have any other techniques? I know another person who is claiming unemployment and working a full time job also. It just seems crazy!

    THanks
