Single mothers and the benefits scam

beagle001

What are peoples opinions on this,I know countless single mothers whose partner lives with them and they are fleecing the social.
Their kids wear Nike shoes,both adults drive a nice car,satellite tv and none of them working.
Majority near our area mind kids during the week bumping up their income tax free.
How do they keep getting away with this scam

Maybe you should mind your own business and stop stalking them.

Probably because people moan about them on the internet rather than report them to the Dept. of Social Welfare.

Where can I find one of these single mothers you speak of ???

Because they are single mums and, apparently, we should allow them to jump the queue in the housing waiting list and then sit at home watching daytime TV whilst having their rent paid for them.

It's a known fact that the reason why Britain's teenage pregnancy rate is the highest in Europe is because many teenage girls deliberately have babies just so they can get a free council flat and all the associated benefits.

As long as it's only broken stuff they get that's ok with me

What about the Niggggggggggggggggggggerians?</sarcasm>

It happens everywhere and because the typical Irish attitude is to complain about it behind closed door (or computer monitors) and not do anything about it!

I know a girl that went out and got pregnant just so the council would put her into a bigger house and increase her benefits, I find it hilarious that you need a license for a dog or a tv and yet people like this can have kids!!!!

How do you know what they're claiming OP?

IF neither partner is working (as you said above) then isn't it just as likely that one of the adults is claiming for both of them and the kids too, they would also get rent allowance.

The single mother scam isn't really relevant if the partner isn't working, it was only really a scam back in the boom when the partner was working and making a fortune, she was claiming rent and single mothers payment and then they had all his wages to spend on whatever they wanted no?

Very true, but that doesnt mean that there arent people doing it. An ex of mine was in a rent allowence house cause she had a kid and the da wanted nothing to do with her and when we were going out she was always trying to get me to move in with her, and she'd get really annoyed when I wouldnt agree to it

My sister is a single mother and struggles with her rent and bills every month whilst the "father" pays for nothing but his weed problem.

It says her right for havign a kid with this guy. She must have known what he was like before she decided to have a kid with him. Hasn't she heard of condoms?

Also, if she's struggling with money, she should go out and get a job.

I hope nothing unexpected or misfortunate ever happens to you. I hope you never make a single mistake in life. Seriously.

Not going to go into massive detail but their partners do a few nixers on the side,I know because everyone else in the bloody estate knows and they make no secret of it.
I own my house they are in a council house and they can go on two holidays to the Canaries in a year.
My neighbour sends her two young kids to them and she pays thus 1 family 300 a week to mind the 2 kids.

mikemac

So have you reported it OP?

And 300 a week is crazy money, a creche could beat that price even for two children

You said that everyone in the estate knows about it. So why not report it, no one will know who reported it? Not much point on reporting it on AH!

Really she drops the kids off from 8-5 mon to Friday,there are 2 more kids from another family so she is creaming it then .

You could be talking about bankers, politicians, the elite.

But no, turn the citizen against the citizen over peanuts and they won't notice the real crimes.

If someone has decided to live a life on benefits rather than going out and getting a job I think it's every taxpayers' business.

I bloody tell you, recession has created a bunch of moaners, begruders, jealous gits, righteous gits etc.

Sure, alot of these people playing 'the unmarried mothers scam' are scum from the flats. The type that will rob the eyes out of the back of your head. But this world is unfair and scum-baggery in every aspect. From Skanger to Politician. And everyone in between.

So instead of moaning about these people... become a rouge yourself.

Nice guys finish last.

Wash your mouth out,talking about single mother's like that.
You do know that 2 or 3 of them work and pay tax's

The welfare used to be known as unmarried mothers allowance

For confirmation here is a TD asking about it in Dáil Debates
http://historical-debates.oireachtas.ie/D/0341/D.0341.198303230026.html
The number of applicants doubled in seven years, interesting

Then it became lone parents allowance

Now we have a new PC name
It's One Parents family allowance

Why do so many people think social welfare fraud is acceptable?
If this was about Public Service workers peoples attitude would be so different.
