Basically although it's wrong, she is entitled to confidentiality, and your employment is a job of trust. I do understand your feelings concerning this, but these things happen and what would you gain by shopping her to the Housing Benefit Office. Just think about it.... |

through life i have found sometimes it is better `not too`
1 - people in your office may think you are trying to impress the managment by telling on your neighbour
2 - your neighbour will probably realise it was you ,then other neighbours may shun you
hope my views help |

It may be unfair but you do not know her mental, emotional, financial situation. Is this a crime? Does it really effect you? Do you have a legal or professional responsibility to report it? If so report it--but if not, let it go. Kharma always has a way of "righting" a wrong. |

let god be the judge not you and as you can access her records I'm sure this is against the law regarding confidentiality x |

yes is the answer but then you could be prosecuted yourself you are required under the data protection not to reveal anything that is entered so therefore you would be in technical breach of the data protection act so then you both would be guilty of a crime you decide do you want a criminal record. this is a technicality and may never never happen but nevertheless the facts remain.
I for one would pursue you to the bitter end for your indiscretions you cannot have one law for one and not expect one law for another. leave it out forget about it it will only cause you grief if your name was released as the informant,and believe me it will be nobody likes a grass only cows |

what goes around comes around. you better do a little soul-searching before turning them out in the street. sure it is the right thing? hell, man, it is christmas!
you have a real mean streak. think. would that not be judged as cruel. seems like that to me. if me and mum were turned out -- oh my! |

Hm, interesting.
If you do report her, as she knows you and you live opposite, it would seem obvious it was you who did the reporting.
If you don't report her, you are allowing her to break the law and take your money.
Which can you live with?
If it was me, I'd report her and deny it was me.
If it was my wife, she would report her and tell her it was her, and leave her with the words ''you deserved it you thieving cow'' ringing in her ears!
Your call. |

Just let all those taxpayers who are saying you should not report it send in a little extra each year so that they can support your neighbor and all the other people who are cheating the system. In fact maybe we should all give up on capitalism and become communist societies.
Read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand if you haven't already. |

She's a thief. Don't be an accessory. At very least say something to her. Let her know you'll report it if she doesn't. Everyone pays when someone cheats. |

I used to work for HMRC, and I have reported people I knew personally who were on the fiddle. My sympathies always lay with the people who do pay, and have to pay extra because these cheats get away with it. Tough if the cheats didn't like it. |

It's called fraud - report her. The rest of us are paying rent or mortgages - why not her?! |

yes its a criminal offence to claim benefit you are not entitled to, no if's nobut's, report her why should she get away with it, that money she is getting could go to a genuine claimer.
She wont know who do it, they dont disclose that fact so get her reported, too much benefit get dished out, today to the wrong people, claiming they are alone, and they are not, sick, and they are working out of town, so no if i should, you should, do it tomorrow, you can phone up, tell them, then let the ball roll they will find out the information they need. i live in a flat, would love a house, garden im denied, there is this woman, probably in a better flat and area to me, claiming and getting away with it, sorry thats not fair, wrong. |

Is this a conscience matter or a legal matter? Sounds like a legal matter to me... and you as an officer have an obligation. |

too right you should report it.
some of us who need help with our rent cant get it because of people sponging of the government like your neighbour.
i live in private rented accommodation and i dont work as i have a 16month old son, my partner has to work in a bar n only brings home £130 a week and we have to pay £95 a week in rent, but apparently we aint entitled to help! |
