I am friendly with a young woman who has lived in UK since about 7 years old. Her mother remained in her home country but father and children came here. About two years ago her father was evicted from privately rented home for not paying rent on time even though he was getting his pension, and the three by now AC were contributing to running costs of the home. Cutting long story short, they ended up in a hostel, my friend father still takes money from three AC but sends it home to purchase land and build properties over there, she has been given a deposit by local council to rent her own flat as she told them her father was trying to force her into an arranged marriage. The father and remaining two AC are going to be offered a council property a.s.a.p they then will try to claim HB and other benefits as the father now elderly and she will give up private flat and move back home. Surely this is all wrong and i wish i didnt know about it all. Ihave told her i think what they are doing is against the law as surely if you own property you have to declare it. She just laughed and said it is what everyone does!!!!!! I was flabbergasted and not sure how i feel about her now
