hi thanks for the reply,i just found out from my husband tht he did received 80 pounds all together started aug 12,of this year.......i have done my own research about this,and i realy asked him what happened,coz he was afraid to tell me and for me nt to worry coz of being pregnant.but it stopped now.i asked him to send me a copy of that letter through my email.its benefit fraud ,but i dont knoow yet the exact details..his going to appear on court sept.26.thats why i am asking coz i myself is confused about this matter.because i know its impossible to have an investigation so quickly.i just wnt to ask if he pays back all this money,and admit his fault.is he going to pay any more penalty,or go to prison?if ever he does pay,can he travel back in cyprus because i need him here.i am alone here and i dont have anybody. thank you grace
