Man claims benefits for 36 children

I tend to just use a finger and then flick it at the nearest person with their back to me.

People expose their back to you
fools

They should have a check in the tax credit database
if number of children > 6
raise alarm

Oh the niavity of the young.

If they did that the whole benefits budget would be swallowed by investigations. I kid you not.

They only way an alarm like you describe is triggered is when the central register database field overflows. Normally, they just reset it to zero.

I suggest that this guy was caught because he was flaunting it.

Sheet, they're regularly catching OAPs claiming their long dead parents state pension. So you'd think they should have a check in the database
if age > number in guiness book of records
raise alarm

When they do checks by having a warm body stood at the Post Office checking people collecting pensions they actually save 5 times more than the cost of that persons wages for the month! And that is just by disuading people to collect, not actually catching anyone.

IIRC there are 4 times as many pensions paid out as real pensioners who claim the state pension...

So he gets away with nearly £80k but only gets 13 months. With early release he'll probaby be out in 5.
