While we have a system which is vulnerable to abuse there will always be those who will benefit.I know of many who get benefits and still work cash in hand. We are all paying for it in some way or another in our taxes. Surely if you are on benefits you shouldn't have enough to buy the latest phone, shouldnt have enough to have a nice car. I was on benefits for a few months a while back and I can tell you it's no holiday. I HAD TO get the weekly shopping in from Iceland. I HAD TO walk everywhere coz I couldn't afford a bus and I barely had credit in my phone. I don't care what anyone says, if you are on benefits and still manage the luxuries in life YOU ARE FIDDLING!
