Would you report your neighbour

If you thought they were a benefit cheat. Woman works 16hrs with 1 child 6 year old, the father only shows up on his birthday and Xmas, I think he pays cash for him otherwise legit he would want access to his son.also only working 16 hrs allows her all sorts of claims for financial help.holidays to Florida last year and wants for nothing.

Mind your own business. Curtain twitchers are wankers.

They do mate, one of my daughters has been reported so many times that she’s on first name terms with some of the Benefits staff, some even apologise first about contacting her again because they’ve had another ‘anonymous call’.
They went through her home life, her accounts (even money I’d given her to help her out), the relationship and situation with the kids dad etc etc with a fine tooth comb and were more than satisfied.

It’s no doubt the same handful of beaky nosed, busy cunts, and all she did was give up her 12 hour, 7 nights a week minimum pay job giving ‘end of life care’ the other side of town to better hers and the kids lives by qualifying to go to University (despite having dyslexia and dyscalculia), all because with part of the grant she passed her test, bought a cheap as fuck car to help ferry the kids to school and get her to University ( saving about 4 hours a day) and some neighbours see fit to ‘grass her up’, they say fuck all about the registered peado over the road mind, pisses me right off.

Incidentally, most charities estimate there’s about £15 billion in unclaimed benefits.

Firstly, well played to your daughter. Obviously I'm guessing as I don't know the details, but what she chose to do typically takes a lot of guts (especially if her earlier experience of formal education wasn't great) and ongoing determination and resilience. There are a lot of people in this country who aren't malicious as such but are genuinely clueless about how difficult it is to 'get out from under' as it were. Instead of busy twats making life harder, you'd like to think someone like your daughter would be held up as a role model to inspire other people who are in a similar situation but through a combination of lack of confidence and practical barriers like transport are too fearful to try. Taking a risk and backing yourself when you don't have a safety net takes a level of bottle and personal responsibility that many of the people who lecture the general public about 'taking responsibility' have zero clue about.

I think gdm is using a wide brush stroke. 'Even the cleaners' will also refer to other lowly staff, the gardeners, the footman, maid in fact anyone seen in Upstairs Downstairs.

I'm sure that GDM would employ someone else to apply said 'wide brush stroke' rather than do such a task personally.

Thanks for that mate, very much appreciated, she’s a survivor for sure, worse thing is, and I say this without an ounce of bias, she’s the most beautiful, kind, caring and considerate human being I’ve ever known, even as a child (and it doesn’t come from me or her mother either), the letters she’s had from families who she’s seen through their ‘end of life care’ have genuinely had me in tears.

Excuse my ignorance, what’s the crime?

Think carefully. Enforcing child poverty can seem like a good idea, I agree. But it's important to remember economic truths. First, that childhood poverty has life long debilitating effects.

The second economic truth is that of "Opportunity cost". Ask yourself, would dobbing this girl in cost you the opportunity to make more children more poor? After all, one should aim for the maximum return on the investment of your time and idle jealousy. In this case, that would be inflicting the most human misery and harm possible.

That suggests there is some other, greater evil that you could serve here. Could you not simply "accidentally" infect them with a nasty infectious disease that had long term debilitating consequences? Or perhaps traumatise them psychologically. Remember to escape from being held to account for your actions by employing a devious strategy of manipulation and 'gaslighting'.

Perhaps she has a successful drug or eBay empire

Its a difficult connundrum as the U.K "benefit" system is steeped with complex rules. Taking the new Universal Credit system that most working folk are privy to, it's not the hours a claimant works, only the amount of money earned over their nominated work allowance. Depending on circumstances, work allowances vary per individual. Currently set at 45p in the pound to encourage claimants to work (making work pay).

A terrible situation that the government has to step in with assistance, owing to conglomerats and the greedy ones paying buttons, but thats the nature of the beast. The low setting of the minium wage is a stain on our society, as is it's variation dependent on your age.

I'm waffling so I wont, and on the above basis will not be calling the lady in for interview .. case remains unproven.
As for the Florida run, she may have fallen down a pot hole or experianced a nasty trip or fall, securing a no win no fee wedge. Investing her pot in a lovely holiday would afford her and her child great pleasure in a mundane world, and anyway would have to be spent up as deductions kick in over 6k.

Not withstanding other benefits, there was 5.9 million people in reciept of the U.C in Jan 23 .. so curtain twichers everywhere are going to be busy busy bees.

Even the cleaners are on £20 per hour.
Presumably theyll be self employed. No sick pay, no hol pay etc etc.

Even cleaners are allowed to earn a living
