It all reads like a reworking of the MPs expenses scandal...
""That was a drunken mistake," "
" "I needed the money to pay for TV in each of the five bedrooms, as the kids have ADHT and I have to keep them in." "
"In Liverpool, a claimant insisted that she did not have a relationship with a man who stayed at her home most nights of the week."

Having worked as a fraud investigator in the DSS (as it was then) I've heard a few excuses over the years. One that I always remember was a woman who when asked who the father of her child was said that she couldn't remember as she was 'being sick out of a taxi window at the time'!!

"FRAUDSTERS from Folkestone have secured their town a place in a list highlighting bad excuses for benefit fraud.
One man from the town interviewed regarding failing to declare his night-watchman job said: "I only claim benefits during the day - what I do at night is my own business."...

That reminds me of an incident many years ago when I was in the City. One of my staff disappeared from his trading desk for nearly an hour and when he returned he had obviously been to the barber's. When I berated him for having his hair cut on company time he replied: "Well, it grows in company time."
