I don't think comparison with P S is right but she's had more than her 15 minutes of fame, so is on a par with, er um, comm'on help me out here people,
She's milking her fifteen minutes of fame, if she has defrauded the benefits system then I am pretty sure she will get caught out (she's hardly being sneaky about it). But then some people would hate to miss the opportunity to give people receiving benefits a good old kicking.
Ofcourse theyre are benefit worthies but Dee isnt one. Nor is my todays client & 6m preggars partner that used our toilet to snort up at TPayers expense.
You're right, Svejk, incapacity benefit, disability living allowance and the new equivalents aren't means tested, but this woman also gets housing and council tax benefits which are means tested.

There's a famous case of a multi-millionaire, one of the leading NH horse owners, who receives £160 a week and claims a)he's entitled to it b)he gives it to a family member who 'needs it'.
