Benefit Fraud: An abuser whether a carer or family member - relative or spouse may well be claiming benefits falsely. These thieves are stealing your money without remorse. They can claim benefits such as a carers allowance, and in such cases the victim wont see a penny. Do not allow these individuals to get away with it. If you suspect any form of benefit fraud, then report them. You may need that money yourself one day, or if you have an elderly relative. Visit https://secure.dwp.gov.uk/benefitfraud/ and do the right thing for others. They are stealing from all of us and should not go un-punished.
