Part of the problem is government departments do not make enough checks on peoples entitlements as the article pointed out.
The second is if people are caught they seem to get suspended jail sentences and by crying poverty are able to pay it back at a £1 a week for years,what king of message does that send out?,if these two are guilty i wonder if the courts will cease their house to pay the government ie taxpayer back,somehow i doubt it sadly.

You sound genuine good luck today,sadly many genuine cases are refused whilst those that can manipulate the system hoover up.
