if you knew someone [say your neighbour]..was a benefits cheat...

[stokemaveric]

would you grass on them???..[honest answers only]

[ummmm]

I don't know. Probably not.

[rinkins]

Yep

[danchip]

yes

[4getmenot]

depends if I liked them :-)

[China Doll]

Would depend on the circumstances... I'm unlikely to shop a single mother doing a cleaning job for an extra few quid a week, I'd find that petty.

[Xaviour]

damn right i would. anyone that wouldnt should remember that when they complain about people on dole conning money or immigrants getting too many benefits. but i guess us english prefer to moan about things instead of doing anything to chnage them

[jackthehat]

My initial response is "yes".
I don't need telling that it is a crime and affects us all, however, some cases are more illiciting of sympathy than others.........and I may take those into consideration.

[daffy654]

If my neighbours were I would definitely grass on them. We don't get on with the neighbours either side (barking dog one side and noisy, foul mouthed family the other side).

[4getmenot]

yer same as jack, would depend how they are being a benefit cheat

[Polly1958]

The people that live opposite us have just got a brand new car paid for the social,their last one was a brand new 2007 reg.How can they justify this,how many of us can afford a brand new car?He reckons to have angina and yet he can go golfing nearly every day it makes me so angry.

[B00]

Dunno, depends how they were cheating I guess. And if there were visible signs of their cheating, ie flash new car on the street, drinking all day and night etc, whilst i shlepped to work.

[4getmenot]

And how jealous I felt

[craft1948]

Yes I would. My cleaning lady is a young single parent, desperately trying to get off benefits but look after her daughter. She declares all her earnings and her benefits are reduced accordingly.

[ttfn]

Agreed Polly, I have many health issues My answer is yes despite that, not because of it.

[LoftyLottie]

As per China.

But I would report my neighbour for anything 'cos I absolutely hate him!!!!!

[daffy654]

Oh gawd, here we go again with the disability benefit thing. The car is not paid for by the 'social' (DWP is the correct dept.). The man is probably in receipt of DLA mobility component, he then pays the motability (charity) to lease his car. This will take all (or most) of his DLA every month. Angina does not prevent someone doing gentle exercise such as golf. If he was running marathons that would be a different matter.

[4getmenot]

does the man with angina have a job? if he can play golf he can get a job

[sara3]

I wonder if those of you saying "no" are tax-payers?

personally, I'd rather see my taxes being used for worthy causes, not those who think it's okay to defraud the government.
