I see there are a lot of people here happy to pay taxes towards people who thieve it from those who need it. Benefit cheats should be made to clean our foot paths, high streets rivers and beaches, and then made to pay back every penny. Its our Nhs and education system they are stealing from. Mick

Looks like a hornet's nest has been stirred up with this question.
Generally speaking, a lot of the unemployed, including those referred to by some contributors, are better off than those in low paid jobs! HOWEVER if they are also working then I believe you have a DUTY both to yourself and every other worker paying taxes to report them. They are taking money from YOUR pocket and bread from YOUR baby's mouth.
I call at peoples door for a living, and felt a bit miffed when an unemployed guy jumped into his 4x4 and jokingly said "all you tax payers are paying for this one for me"
As they say many a true work spoken in jest!
Report them my friend, and have no qualms about it....

OMG what is wrong with the people who are condeming you for wanting to shop some-one whose possibly breaking the law, do they understand how much benefit fraud costs this country, money that could so easily spent on NHS or education. Contact National Fraud Hotline, number given in earlier reply, can also contact your local council as they've also get a Fraud team if claiming Housing Benefit & Council Tax, don't be put off by the small minded idiots who obviously are all claiming benefits & working!!!

You don't have to, Just report them and let Ministry do the rest.
Frankly although I have never been in a position in which I have needed to draw benefit I would not report them, if someone can screw some money from the government good luck to them. I do not accept that the money saved would go to the really needy. This government would just waste it on no marks like Prescott Mendelson Campbell and other wasters

i definitely think you should stay out of it. at the end of the day the government make it hard for all of us. the only way you can make enough to live on is by working every hour under the sun which then means we lose the most important things like our family. it is not always peoples faults they are on benefits and it is very hard to survive on them. i worked hard from the day i turned 16 and only stopped 2 years ago to have my children. even then i went back to work part time and got screwed over as ended up so much worse off. so give them a break!

There is no system in the UK to trace whether someone is claiming benefits, but there is a fraud reporting line. You could phone that and pass on your concerns. I would.
