Title: UK BENEFIT CHEATS
Post by: Prakhonchai Nick on May 29, 2011, 05:12:32 PM
A survey of fraud investigators revealed the ten worst excuses used by benefit cheats:

    * ‘I wasn’t using the ladders to clean windows. I carried them as therapy for my bad back.’

    * ‘We don’t live together, he just comes each morning to fill up his flask.’

    * ‘I had no idea my wife was working! I never noticed her leaving the house twice a day in a fluorescent jacket with a “Stop Children” sign.’

    * ‘My wallet was stolen so someone must have been using my identity. I haven’t been working.’

    * ‘I didn’t know I was still on benefit.’

    * ‘I didn’t declare my savings because I didn’t save them. They were given to me.’

    * ‘He lives in a caravan in the drive. We’re not together.’

    * ‘He does come here every night and leaves in the morning and, although he has no other address, I don’t regard him as living here.’

    * ‘It wasn’t me working. It was my identical twin.’

    * ‘I wasn’t aware my wife was working because her hours of work coincided with the times I spent in the garden shed.’
