What do they say about opinions Purple? Was it this one you were thinking of?:
Bigot - a person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions.
... if you claim within 6 months. Outside that you need to commit fraud to get it.
You know what they say about opinions.

I don't think anyone is taking the moral high ground. Nobody is saying don't do it, just pointing out that it is fraud.No need to make a mountain out of a mohill and start crying fraud and taking the moral highground. Have the intelligence to look at each case as they arise and judge it on its merits....but not too hastily lads.
Really? A decent and honest person wouldn't be contemplating falsely claiming to be suffering from a mental illness in order to get money from their fellow tax payers.
There should be an appeals procedure in the SW Maternity Benefit section. If they can't help then anything else is fraud.

Where did I claim to be a decent person?Ok so.….Well, I suppose as long as you are as consistent as your are objectively fair-minded Purple......
I don't think the OP is suggesting that she has postnatal depression or that she will try to con her GP into saying that she actually has postnatal depression.It is not a fraud if a doctor forms a legitimate belief that the patient's state of mind was an impediment to her claiming the entitlement within the required time.
What do you call telling lies to get the money? It may not be that big a deal but I certainly wouldn't be extolling someone's honesty with "All credit for being a decent and honest person" after advising them to tell lies to make up for their own mistake.
I agree. Falsely claiming to have postnatal depression in order to get the money is.Being late in claiming payment through an honest mistake is not.
Yes, they are breaking the law, or is it a trick question?Look at the amount of people who accelerate through an amber light. Are they criminals?
Who is suggesting that?To suggest that anyone who genuinely needs to submit a claim outside of this window is committing fraud is frankly directing your attention away from what is the just and fair end result.
Well said.Gombeenism (and what-aboutery) are alive and well in 21st century Ireland. It comes as no surprise to have that fact confirmed yet again, it comes as a shock that it raises its ugly head in here.
What is more shocking is that what can be a very serious and debilitating illness should be bandied about as a triviality, merely a convenient excuse for failing to comply with the qualification conditions for a SW benefit and that it be used as the basis for fraud.
Given that the OP was for whatever reason unfamiliar with all the conditions for claiming the benefit and that SW seem to some discretion in adjudicating on claims, could she not write to SW, making her case honestly and let the case be judged on its merits?
You can indeed. Mathepac summed up my views very will above. There's nothing more to be said.Purple may I please respectfully decline to become further entangled in this pointless nonsense.
Wishing you well, all the best.
