    hi guys, looking for advise here, i know of a guy who through him and his gf claiming rent allowance(he co habits), carers allowance etc. & her working in the black economy takes home almost 1400 per week between allowances and payment and to be honest i have had enough of it. She has a disabled relative but he hasnt lived in the country since 2009 he flies in and out sporadically.

    i am wondering the best way to approach this as a person who pays his taxes week in week out and struggled on trying to make ends meet i have really had enough, it isnt on anymore as far as i am concerned and am prepared to blow the whistle. is it worth doing or am i just wasting my time?
