    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?

    I know a girl who is claiming OPFP with the child's father living with her.. What happens if they are caught out .. she is claiming she doesnt know were the childs father is and he hasnt paid he a penny from the child was born this is going on 6 years .. The gov are giving her money because of this can they come at the childs father to try to recover some of this money or can they do nothing about it ??
