Number of people illegally claiming benefits ?

How many people do you think are or maybe claiming benefits like job seekers allowance and working at the same time?

Isn't there a government surviellence system? or do they already monitor like for example, people who are signing on, the job center people or government follow them around where they go?

How long is the piece of string?
I don't know if they do that randomly or after a tip-off but they do monitor people. There was a weekly program on TV a couple of years ago about benefit fraud and how they investigate it.
