I'm aware of a person who has been working cash in hand for several years whilst claiming Job Seekers. He was moved to Back to Work allowance, which gets paid directly into his bank account and for the past 2 years has worked abroad earning nearly €4K a month. He is back and forth every couple of weeks.
He has opened a separate bank account that social welfare are not aware of, so he can get away with this at the moment.
He is also just in the process of claiming rent allowance to, even though he shouldn't. To add insult to injury, he is renting out a room in the house and current tenant paying more than half the rent. Obviously social welfare are not aware of this at all.
This is clearly abusing a system meant to help people in dire straights. I have no issue with people who deserve social welfare, or even people doing the odd nixer to get buy. This guy is taking it to a whole new level.
So many different welfare frauds are being committed here?
Working and claiming.
Falsified documents.
Subletting a room and claiming full rent allowance.
Who do I report this to?
