[MargaretR]

I once lived amongst a community which had more than its fair share of benefit cheats.

I worked at DHSS, and used to dread anyone being caught, because they would automatically assume it was me that 'shopped' them. Two once did, and made my life 'unpleasant'.

I had to make clear that I operated a 'no grass' strategy.
Otherwise living there would be rendered impossible, even dangerous.

I used to help people fill forms in. I clearly stated that genuine cases got help, but cheaters didn't. I survived.
