Hi

Dwp only check bank accounts weather you have a huge amount of deposits in your bank,claiming benefits your not entitled to,and working and claiming benefits.

Really they should clamp down on fraudsters,people like me can't even claim any other benefit because I'm not entitled to it.but people out there has brand new posh cars and still claiming benefits it's ridiculous

With all due respect those people with brand new posh cars could be mobility vehicles. I'm about to collect my brand new car but it's a mobility car and I use my PIP mobility award to pay for it.

There's also people claiming Universal Credit that work and yes they may have a posh car outside because it could be a company car or the car is a lease car on PCP or they may even have a different type of loan to pay for it. It doesn't mean they paid for that car in full.

Very few people claim benefits fraudulently. It's really not nice to judge others.

Oh sorry I didn't mean it like that I do apologise.poppy. I didn't aim it u personally.basically what I'm saying is where people has these sort of disability cars and there is nothing wrong with them.i really didn't aim that at u

I know you didn't aim it at me. How do you know there's nothing wrong with them? Invisible conditions do exist and just because you can't actually see something, it doesn't mean it isn't there.

There's people with mental health, Autism and other conditions that also claim Enhanced mobility. My condition is physical but it's not always noticeable, especially when I'm having one of my rare better moments and walking is a little easier for me.

My daughter has a Motability car in her name because she also claims Enhanced mobility PIP. She has ASD, learning disability and Social anxiety but you wouldn't know anything was wrong by just looking at her. Spend a couple of days with her and you will soon change your mind.

I know how easy it is to open the door and paint the big huge smile on your face to show everyone that's everything is just fine, when in reality it's far from it.

There's a saying… don't judge a book by its cover and it's very true. Please don't judge people.

I completely understand what your saying i really do.

It's not just that it's where some people have huge amount of savings in there accounts (good luck for them) and hasn't declared to the dwp aswell

Not all benefits are means tested… PIP, DLA, AA, tax credits, New style ESA/JSA and carers allowance.

You can be a millionaire and still claim them.
