Hello,
So I just found out that my husband's captain has been separated from his wife for about eleven months. This came out while my husband and I were out for drinks with the captain and he had a bit too much and let it slip. He has been getting the ir/se benefit this whole time, even though he would not qualify for it due to the impending divorce.
My question is what to do? How in good conscience do I just leave it? He's getting a benefit that he does not deserve. The worst part is people like him who abuse the system could potentially ruin it for everyone else. However at the same time, why should we get involved? Why are there not more checks and balances in the program which requires both the member and the spouse to sign off on the ir every year so that people can scam thousands from the caf?
What would you do in my position?
