Be interesting to see what the actual benefit payments are.
I've tried searching but nothing concrete with lots of different figures...

I do remember saying my friend had given her family a lot of her savings but knowing her she wouldn't have made herself short. A lot more of her savings will have been hidden away..
Frankly I don’t know how you remain friends with this woman who must know she’s doing wrong .
As I said why don’t you stop her mentioning her financial affairs by saying “ you’re not supposed to have disposed of savings “ ?
Why get annoyed when you can stop it ?
So what if she stops speaking to you ,do you need her ?

Re: Benefit Cheats..
I think that I would stop short at reporting someone.That's because I don't think it's possible to know all of the facts.
On the other hand, I might well write a letter to someone in power (MP, Council, etc) to enquire how I might apply for the same benefits as Joe Bloggs, across the road, as he seems to have a more beneficial scheme than what I have.
Or, maybe, I'd check in with the local CAB.
One thing that always "amuses" me is how expert, some people are, at understanding every twist & turn of the benefit terms & conditions!
There ought to be a college degree in benefit techniquews.
