A reader asks ...

After separation from my wife, I investigated our financial affairs with some dismay as she had taken thousands of pounds without my consent. Some of this was hidden in a loan.

She now is on DLA, IS and has her house and mobility car paid for. Her combined income along with payments from her new partner are in excess of £3k per month and she had an income of at least £50k last year in total.

Also while we were married and without my knowledge she committed benefit fraud over a two year period.

I have reported her but nothing seems to have been done.

What do I do?

Nothing...you wont get to know what the situation is regarding any Investigation, because allegations must remain anonymous ( except in rare circumstances where the allegation can be revealed with consent of the reporting person ).This ios to remove any inappropriate inference from what may be a malicious allegation. Any change to entitlement must be considered on 'facts' and not anecdotal evidence. Those facts will hopefully be ascertained during the investigation.

In this case there are 100% irrefutable facts such as bank statements, contradictory solicitors letters and the like.

I read yesterday that an MP receives around £65k per annum excluding expense. I am at a loss to see how the benefits amounts we are talking about can be justified.
