Should i report my sister in law for benefit fraud?

My sister in law is committing benefit in two ways: Shes working and not declaring it and living with her partner. This has been going on for roughly 2 years now.
I struggle to pay my bills and i don't see why she should be allowed to get away with it. However i very concerned about it coming back to me with being a family member and also how confidential the helpline is and could it be track back to my computer if i did it online.
I have all the relevant details apart from her NI number.
Im in a rutt about what I should do.
Your comments would be appreciated thank you

Yes. Benefit scroungers are one of the lowest form of pond scum.

I reported my neighbour today for the same thing and I've done it in the past.

Weather you do it online or over the phone the person never finds out.

I'm sick of spongers claiming benefits and working illigally so I don't need to think twice about reporting anyone that does it.

Don't feel bad.

A confidential helpline means its confidential she will not find out its you. You should deffo report her, she is breaking the law and its not fair for her to be taking the money, just like its not fair that druggies can claim disability

Do it and don't feel guilty. You can do it anonymously online in the UK

reporther, i don't care if shes related to u

why shud it be dat people like you av t pay for everything when ur less financly dependent but people like her hu can afford to get away with it, and with it being a gov thing it is more than likely really safe and u won't get tracked back

unless ur not behaving suspisous arnd her they won't even know it was u

trust me, do it!!!

Report her, you are struggling to pay bills, and the taxes you're paying are going towards her so she has an easy life....is that fair??

People like that make me really angry!!

Don't like her much do you?!

In theory you should report her.


James
It is a tough situation because she is your sister-in-law. However, she is cheating the system. People like this screw it up for the rest of us because we end up paying for it. Be a good, honest person and turn her in because she is in fact stealing money.


KazB
Depends on whether you can live with yourself afterwards. I think the help lines are VERY confidential and it is fraud she is committing.If you are paying taxes then you are actually subsidising her income.

What is wrong with sending them to your local unemployment office or even to the state attorney general? She shouldn't be allowed to get by with it.
Be anonymous.

would you report your brother if he was doing the same thing?

The reason you're telling is because YOU can barely pay YOUR bills. Don't get me wrong, I don't condone it but if you are going to tell:do it for the right reason.

do you want to squeel on her because you realy cant stand dishonesty, or because you are peeved, that she is doing well. think of all those super rich in the city how one bonus payment is equivelant to five thousand years average wage...leave the poor girl alone.

Depends on how much you hate her!

You can report benefits fraud at the number below. . .
National Benefit Fraud Hotline 0800 854 440

Do not give your name or address, even if asked. Use a public telephone box so they cannot trace back to your mobile or home phone.

It's your citizen's duty but they will not protect you, thus you must protect yourself.

Well i Never!
Its not far no, but life isnt fair! your choice

A family will be a hard war to end, and sooner or later she will find out who shopped her.

Forget it. Instead write to Gordon Brown telling him you are not happy about the Financial "big wigs" getting off scot free for gambling millions of pounds of our money.

If you were worth your salt you wouldn't be concerned about anonymity.

I find the number of "welfare Cadillac" reporters, of late, to be very suspicious.

Wonder if it's just a coincidence that our government has been giving trillions to international corporations lately?

you realize if ur collecting unemployment you are allowed to work a certain amount of hours each week and still collect.
in ma if u get layed off and work a part time job afterwards, you still get ur benefits of an unemployment check and the part time jobs check.

i think you are jealous of your sister in law, speak to her.


andrew c
Ask yourself,would my sister in-law do the same to me?. That should make your decision easier.When found out she could end up in prison or at least have an impossible to repay debt,is this what you want? And if you could get away with it would you not do the same...honestly.Its alright for the banks to fleece the nation for billions with the help of the govt.but your sister in-law is a far greater criminal is she? Put things into perspective and see if she can get you some cash-in-hand work.


Cindy
You have the responsibility and obligation to report your sister-in-law. She will have to pay back all the benefits she received and rightly so. Honesty is always the best policy. I was a single mother for years and could not get food stamps, WIC, or any other benefit. Andrew: that is one reason our country is in the shape it is in because of people thinking like you. When all is said and done, things will be found out no matter what when Jesus comes back.
