I find it difficult to reconcile someone saying they want benefit abuse to be stopped yet not being willing to do anything about someone who blatantly boasts that they are milking the system.
So I thought I would like to clarify something that I do have professional experience of. If anyone wants to reports benefit abuse they can do so anonymously either by writing in to their local benefits office or to the relevant office dealing with a specific benefit. or they can phone in using the dedicated
Fraud Hotline.
An anonymous report is taken seriously but obviously you must be willing to disclose some relevant details of why you consider the claimant is not entitled to the benefit so that the Fraud Team have something to investigate. At no point will you be drawn into the limelight as the whistle blower and NO benefit will be effected until the case is investigated and, if proven necessary, the entitlement to benefit is cancelled. Just saying someone is fiddling will not result in any action being taken as there is neither the man power nor financial resources available to investigate a case where a claimant merely looks too well to be claiming benefit.
