    over 2 years ago my parents lost the childrens allowance for me so i had to move out or they would lose money for me bringing an income into the house hold. i found a landlady who would allow me to use an address to say i was livin there if i paid 50€ per week. so i did, i went back to collage from 2012/2011 and got the back to education allowance but while i was away my parents filled out a form for fuel allowance for me that came in the post... and i gt an extra 20€ a week from it during winter. but i received a form today to fill out for this yrs fuel allowance but im not living or paying that 50€ any more. if i dont fill out the form willl the social welfare get suspicious and come lookin for me?????????. to be fair i dont care about the 20€ i just did it so my parents wouldnt lose money from the disability and other allowances they get... any advice

    There going to catch you out at some stage if you keep scamming the system. Seriously Tom asking for advice on this is just downright insulting to any tax payer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 193 ✭✭tomgaa


    to be honest its 20€ that i just gave to my parents to help them out, i paid 50€ a week for a place i wasnt livin in so my parents wouldnt lose allowances that they need to survive as i said i dnt even want the 20€. im nt in favour of people scamming i just wish the social welfare would just f off and leave me allone. iv always looked for work and worked when ever anything came up, im even on job bridge at the mo and this is just hassle that i didnt need


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 211 ✭✭Maggie 2


    I sincerely hope you DO get caught.

    But that is exactly what you have done?

    Don't try to make excuses and expect nice responses on here when what you're doing is illegal and wasting the genuine taxpayers' money.

    You are just as bad as them! Quit while you're ahead. That education you got was obviously wasted on you too.

    Why didn't you just give your parents the €50 a week ?

    But you are still scamming the system and you know damn well that you are. Congratulations for trying to further your education (wouldn't hurt for you to brush up on spelling though) but that doesn't excuse anything.

    wouldnt cover how much they'd lose per week

    Hi Tom, im guessing your young enough; about 25 or under....this places you in one of the most f*cked over cohorts in the country. The hardship your group face is incredible and to swindle the system a little is nothing compared to how your future has been swindled by many departments in the government. I can say this to you as its clear your making efforts to rise above the difficulties you face and hopefully as a result of your controversial manoeuvres you are nearing a situation where you'll find employment and cover your ass in taxes x1000 over the course of your career. Id say your situation is small beans in the wider context, ignore the letter and it will be filed in a place where it will probably not be followed up on ever. Hope the job bridge leads to paid employment... keep pluggin away and close the book on the small time welfare fraud!

    why did you have to move out?
    if you were bringing in an income, then it doesnt seem like your parents would be entitled to childrens allowance, from you not being a child?!
    Over 2yrs? how many over?

    What was the difference between the €50 & the figure they'd lose ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,696 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    Jesus Tom I can't believe you were paying €50pw to not live somewhere, that's one of the daftest thing I've ever heard, is this a common enough problem for people?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭dodderangler


    Love the way you tax payers are givin out bout this thinkin that if people like him stop doin this then taxes will go down
    Its Ireland no matter what taxes won't go down so may aswell take what you can
    I pay taxes aswell but I'd rather an Irish lad like himself do this than some p**ck only off the boat that's working full time and claimin Whatever else he can off the government
    And we all know this to be true
    There's a few lads In my job that do it that are foreigners and yes there has been arguements with them over
    But as I said I'd rather a Irish lad like him get it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,038 ✭✭✭ian87


    Is this guy for real? Mods surely you can't allow this guy to post looking for advice on how to scam the hard pressed tax payer. I'm paying over 90 quid a week in my USC for the likes of this clown?

    Whats the difference of him being irish doing and someone else doing it? its wrong, if either is doing it then why argue about it? if you felt so strongly that you or someone decided to say something to them about it, then why didnt you just say something to the SW ie report them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,366 ✭✭✭campo


    So básically you had to move out as you would not have recieved anything and your parents no more allowance , so you give a fake address and you and parents scam system


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 193 ✭✭tomgaa


    because i was receiving an income i.e 188 dole, then that counts as an extra income into the household therefore more income for my parents so then they shouldnt be entitled to some reliefs such as free line rental and so fort, if stuff like this is taken off my parents then they wouldnt survive. agree or not with what i did... i did it for a genuine reason i gain nothing from it other than the fact that my parents can survive and provide for my younger brothers and i wouldnt change wat iv done wrong or not..... do i want to scam the system no..... but like any1 else you do what you do to survive


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,038 ✭✭✭ian87

    So the childrens allowance wasnt lost? you were no longer entitled to it? and this happened at the same time you were receiving dole too, did that not get cut off when it was meant to?

    I understand your in a tough situation but it really boils my blood that I along with 1000s like me are down a huge amount in our weekly paychecks and then hear about people defrauding the welfare system. Since 2009 until the past 6 weeks I've been unemployed for 6 out of every 12 months in the year and did my damnest not to claim social welfare as I felt I didn't deserve it. Why should I know work now to pay for other peoples social welfare which is fraudulently claimed?

    How old are your brothers? Shouldn't stop her.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,038 ✭✭✭ian87


    If your dad isn't working and your in education yet living at home surely there is enough adults in the house to mind these younger brothers? Or is it a case that your mother would be better off on social welfare so chooses to stay on it?

    'Whats that? You have a disabled husband and young children? To the fields with you!!'

    seems obvious why she may not be able to work.

    Don't jump to assumptions. It was a valid question. I just thought the same as the two above. Unless the poster is significantly older than his brothers as well I would imagine that the brother may be old enough to look after themselves.

    ANything else to confess tomass? 10k in the bank and stealing from the taxpayer.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,038 ✭✭✭ian87


    AT LEAST 10k in the bank. I see from your other posts that you are a civil engineer. So is my brother. And as it happened he had 10k sitting in the bank too. He went out and bought a franchise with that 10k and is know self employed and paying himself a wage. Not much but he decided social welfare wasn't for him and did something about it.

    Fair enough. My response was more so in relation to the father giving that the level of disability is unknown. But i do agree with the points in regards the o.p.

    You've savings of 10k and want to rip off tax payers for 20e per week for 36 weeks?

    I'm a taxpayer, If I had savings 0f 10k I would prefer my DIRT and PRSI not to support a parasite like you.

    With that money support your family.
