• Answer:

  Please, for the love of all that it is good in this world, TURN YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF You are getting it in your dad's name, therefore he is getting the benefit for a disability they think he has, and he is passing it onto you. Yes, this is benefit fraud. It is illegal and you could BOTH face jail. Since you have been diagnosed with schizophrenia, you will automatically be entitled to higher rate care and lower mobility so you don't need to do this. If your dad is entitled to the benefit, he must claim it only for himself. You can put in a seperate claim for the benefit for you. If you want to post this question again (you posted it in the mental health section yesterday) then PLEASE copy and paste the whole of the text, paste it into a Word document and change the text to sentence case.
