Also report the cheats on the website address I put in an earlier post.

There is a budget of money allocated yearly for benefits. The more cheats that get stopped - the more there is to share out amongst the people who are entitled to it

(in effect they are robbing tax payers and benefits claimants alike)
I agree with you Margaret, Granny should claim the money she is entitled to it!!

Re: 1 in 4 living off benefits

I have no problem with genuine claiments getting what they are entitled to. I do have issues with a system that makes it uneconomical to work. I don't blame the people who can sit there earning more from benefits as they could ever do from working, that is using your head and looking after your family. What needs sorting is why this is the cause. To me benefits should be there to provide a support network to ensure people are provided a basic level of living when they are unable to do so themselves. I often wonder why having dodgy knees can be a cause for disablility allowance, Can't they sit at a desk/till/etc like a lot of working people do? I work with a lad who is severely affect by thalidomide such that he types with his toes. To look at him earning his living with what he has to put up with should shame a heck of a lot of people who sit there and collect the coin. Unfortuantleyas I said earlier, the system is flawed such that they are doing teh right thing for themselves.

Doesn't surprise me that it doesn't surprise you.

I would be suspicious of the Stats ... seems like whenever someone wishes to propse a lowering of benefits, or a tightening up of qualifications for benefits stats like this hit the media.

Re: 1 in 4 living off benefits

half of the people who claim benefits are asian families who bring their families and so on, i think is disgusting, im not racist but i think is bad the way they claim so much money, half of them have about 20 kids so they dont have to work but yet half of the families drive cars i cant even dream on having.

Not racist eh? It's a bit of a sweeping statement that Yolanda; care to tell us where you got your somewhat vague figures from ? Or is this yet another random generalisation ? From a personal perspective the majority of Asian ladies I see in my store with babies are spending money on nappies and babyfood,the majority of white young mums I see are spending money on dummies and ready made up milk formula. Obviously I can't speak for all of them but that's just from my viewpoint.

All those kids will be ones paying income tax to finance retirement pensions in 20 yrs time. Without those kids there will be populaion imbalance and not enough working age to support an aging population

Actually you will find most of the "scroungers" are folk with another "income".

Oh and just for the record the easy way to spot someone with a racist statement is when they throw in the comment "I'm not a racist but....."
