Reporting benefit fraud

[lala1984]

Hi all,

Does anyone know the procedure of reporting benefit fraud?

If you gave the phone number of the partner of the person who is committing the fraud will they contact them?

Thanks

lala - don't really understand you question - why would you want to give the number of the patner of the person who is commiting the fraud? You have a few options available to you

There is a question on the form asking for the details of the partner

[TonyV]

depends on whether you think they are commiting fraud as well - if you don't then put other in previous box and write in details that you don't believe they are involved. However if DWP decide to investigate, then initially they will both be under suspicion. DWP,s 1st approach will not be by ringing anyone up.

Hope above helps

Don't do it . . go for the tax dodgers they rob far more form this country and with less justification for doing so ! . . . .mind you it's usually harder to get a prosecution on tax fraud, but then again when was the system ever fair . . silly me

So you're happy for people to steal taxpayer's money are you Hettster?

Denouncing people isn't the English way, is it?

I think it should be reported. I know of someone working as a DRUG dealer earning 20k every 3 months while claiming JSA. I don't think that's fair knowing I'm on near enough min wage, working long hours sometimes upto 13 hours a day and can't afford luxuries, hell I can just scrape by each month and knowing someone is taking my hard earned money just doesnt cut it with me

Report it then.
I think you've misunderstood what they mean when they ask for 'details of the partner'.

[lala1984]

Yeah I think I have Jackthehat. Thought it meant so they can contact them to verify a few things
