Overseas benefit cheats face new crackdown - Telegraph: "Officials at the Department for Work and Pensions will work with their counterparts in countries where the most fraud is carried out by British benefit claimants.
Top scams are said by the department to include claimants not informing the authorities that they have moved abroad, and those on benefits working overseas while being funded by the taxpayer.
In some cases, relatives failed to inform the state when a claimant died overseas in order to continue collecting their money.
Cheats claimed benefits without declaring that they owned substantial assets, including property and even yachts.
Others exaggerated illness or disability and claimed sick pay while enjoying an energetic lifestyle in the sun."
