I am surprised at the response to this, I would have thought most people knew, this has been going on for years in a different guise, in 1977 (I think), a lady from the benefits office in Rawtenstall complained that a person had been in on Tuesday, speaking english, claiming benefits of £230, part for people not in this country, he was back again Thursday with a different id, again claiming for people in another country and given an over the counter payment of more than the first one, the complaint was met with a retort from her manager of ' just pay him, it is much cheaper than going to his country and checking on him'. So yes it is a disgrace, but has been going on for years, the other concern is, this is another nail in the 'white christian' coffin!
