this had to go in the humour section
One excuse revealed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) was: "I wasn't aware my wife was working because her hours of work coincided with the times I spent in the garden shed."
Another false claimant said: "We don't live together, he just comes each morning to fill up his flask."
In a case highlighted by the DWP, a man from Yorkshire claimed nearly £17,500 to look after his sick father - but had to admit to lying when his father revealed he had not seen his son for years.
In another instance, a man claimed more than £55,000 in disability benefits while he was working on a dairy farm.
