I have new neighbours and they both seem like nice people, but I have just found out she claims income support and her husband is actually working. Do I say anything even though its none of my business? or will they be caught up with if I dont say anything? I presume is If keep my gob shut they will be found out anyway as he is paying NI and tax on his wages. I dont want to fall out with them but I cant help thinkiong about this. any ideas?

you should report them anyway, even if you are unsure, it will be investigated fully ( without them knowing they are being investigated )
if they are on the fiddle then they deserve everything they get, but if they are not fiddling then chances are that they wont even be contacted,
Even if you give your name nobody is allowed to tell them who reported them, so whether you do it anonymously or not, is entirely up to you
The people that scam the benefits system are the reason we pay sooooo much income tax,
If you seen someone getting attacked and mugged in the street would you call the police????? I think you would...
CRIME is CRIME !! ( and these benefit cheats are mugging us taxpayers )
do yourself and every other tax payer in this country a favour and report them

You should be absolutely certain about the facts first. Are you sure it's income support, not sick benefit or child support for example (you don't say whether they have kids). Are they actually married or might they have another property somewhere, each one being in separate names?
If you're certain there's a fiddle, then yes you OWE it to every taxpayer in this land to report it.
Just do make sure first.

Are you certain of what you think your know, and how would you feel if grave harm came to them because of something you did? Sometimes it's better to let the universe take care of things that are beyond our control, and work on being the best we can be. I hope that helps Good Luck

Keep well out of it and your opinion to yourself. As you so rightly say, it's none of your business. You don't know the circumstances; you are only surmising. If they are doing wrong and get caught, it's their own problem.

it is your civic duty to report this.
"they'll be caught anyway " is not right or fair on the rest of us tax-payers, is it?
if you know they're fiddling & committing fraud, report them.
see link below for the telephone number, use a call-box & remain anonymous.
it's up to you to stop these people

Report them anonymously. Too many people now take advantage like this.

Tell someone anonymously. They don't have to know. I would not want to know anyone who is getting free money for nothing.
