Does nobody ever check up on them once they're on the gravytrain? Especially those who seem to be able to invent whole families and claim for them.
They get away with it because the cheats are the only ones who know the system well enough.Given the complexity of the benefits sytsem it's not surprising that there is this level of fraud commited with such ease .Problem is though when we finally get a government willing to address the problem by simplifying it to make it harder to defraud and discourage people from being so dependant on it ,people are up in arms as evidenced by certain posters on this forum
