My ex is still claiming Child Benefit for our 17 year old daughter, even though she moved in with me a year ago.
Whilst I don't necessarily need the cash, I object to her defrauding the system into which my taxes go (and she gets more than enough from me anyway).
How do I inform the relevant authorities without her knowing that it was me?
The simplest way, as far as I know is that you simply put in a claim for the benefit yourself on the basis that she's moved in with your - in a way, she's not defrauding the system as the benefit is payable assuming your daughter is still at school - she is, however, claiming benefit which should be going to you.
