Thank you both for your replies Lisa and Mike, however it would be beneficial if this discussion remained focussed on the primary topic of the thread, otherwise I will have to close it.
Discussing the question of who should or shouldn't be posting and advising on the community is not one to be had publicly in this thread, but by all means contact the team.

Sorry @Ross_Scope and sorry Mike

Apologies for the bold part of the message @Username_removed and @lisathomas50, that wasn't intended. You're right Mike, it would be inappropriate and in this case was an innocent mistake on my part which shouldn't have happened.

lisathomas50 said:To be fair Mike the dwp trawl most online sites to find fraud claims its always happend we are liveing in that type of world at least this person has disclosed any one of us could report someone not just DWP
Mike we disagree on this one I don't think it has any negatives having a recent ex DWP staff member trying to help, who knows they might be spending their time keeping upto date?
@Ross_Scope I think this thread might have run it's course now?2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡 -
Mike from my own personal experience they came after the money I did appeal it but I had already paid most of it back they were stopping it out my benefits
-
Yes I can see where your comeing from Mike
-
I would still disagree, no one knows exactly what benefits I am receiving, no one knows my full name, no one one here knows my address, I don't feel the need to be totally anonymous as I have absolutely nothing to hide.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

@woodbine I definitely got nothing to hide most of my business had been on this forum lol ?

Last month Mike it was reported thst some one had been charged with benefit fraud had been caught on a video that was posted on Facebook fighting in the street and seen running down the street but was claiming benefits because he was wheel chair bound and was getting pip and couldn't walk
-
I've heard of lots of cases where face book as been used to catch people out, wether insurance claims or different departments, also police use face book too. I don't personality have anything to hide, they would be bored with mine.

Your argument does fall down in places Mike i don't use freegle but am aware it exist same with gumtree, I also dont have a gmail account and my hotdeals account has a totally different user name and no personal details and there are no photos of me on the internet anywhere that i'm aware of ! But i'm not freaked out, although i would be concerned that others might be and that some of what you say may genuinely scare others, me I'll sleep easy tonight.
During assessments for different benefits I have only ever once been asked if i use a computer my answer was "yes doesn't everybody"
Anyway as this is one that could go on and on and on i'm off to bed g'night.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡 -
@tomatosoz personally I hope you will reconsider your decision as I think your input would be of value, we have lost our best benefits advisor recently and someone like yourself with recent experience of working for the DWP would be great asset.
Whilst Mike has excellent knowledge of the system and I respect him for that I'm sorry if you felt he was having ago at you.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡 -
