I got a letter from Children's allowance section this morning saying they were updating their records to make sure everything was in order etc. I had half filled it in when I realised it wasn't actually addressed to me but was addressed to a woman who used to live here in 1999 when we rented out our house briefly while living in the UK.
Anyway. i know for a fact that this woman moved to Denmark in 2000 and if she has lived in Ireland she certainly hasn't lived in this house since then.
Do you think she has been recieving children's allowance all this time even if she's not in the country?
It got me thinking, mine is paid directly into the post office and I haven't had any contact with the Children allowance office in 4 years since I first applied. Would they even know if I moved?
Are there other ways to check to make sure people arn't defrauding the system
