Well unfortunately that's exactly what happens ,some people see how easy it is to claim some of the multitude of benefits and then get a bit of extra money on the side .There is a culture up here of "get as much off the state as possible" and it shows no sign of going away, if anything it gets worse as the government limits the availability of benefits because people are kicking back so to speak and turning to the labour black market even if they don't claim benefits
