I know a few people who have done it and are now trying to build up their lives normally through being skint and struggling instead. I can understand in particularly my friends situation why she would cheat on benefits. She got kicked out at 14 and sometimes held part time jobs (over the amount of hours allowed) to help pay her bills better and have a bit extra. She still lived on bare minimum. In her situation i can understand and now she's older and getting qualifications under her belt she's starting to do well on her own.

Thats why I'm the only one who has clicked yes so far
