On a more serious note... Does a "means tester" (i.e. an employee of the Department of Social Welfare) really visit an applicants house? Surely not, I thought they read all the documents submitted and then asked you in for an interview if they thought something was fishy.

The inspector certainly does call, it was done when I was on JSA.

And they can check other things like if there are two separate applications pending from single people but it's a one bed apartment. Hmmm....
