They Said They Could Barely Walk. Then They Filmed Him | Britain's Biggest Benefit Cheats

Eight people who told the Department for Work and Pensions they could barely walk, couldn't work, or were raising children alone. All eight were filmed doing something rather different. A roofer claiming incapacity benefit since 1996, filmed unloading his van between holidays in Turkey, Egypt and Goa - with a motor cruiser and a holiday home on the side. A man on the highest rate of disability benefit, filmed demonstrating jujitsu kicks to a class. A baseball coach with a field named after him, filmed sprinting and batting on it. A man who said he couldn't manage ten yards, filmed walking four miles of a golf course. And a mother of seven whose partner was supposedly just the man in the caravan at the side of the house. Between them they took hundreds of thousands of pounds meant for people who genuinely needed it. This is how the surveillance teams caught each one.
