As it is we are being led by example
Speak for yourself. I haven't abdicated moral authority to anyone else.
Or as my gran would have said, just because johnny's run off a cliff would you do it to?
That, and two wrongs don't make a right.
She was also quite keen on if the wind changes your face will stay like that, but I'm not so sure that's particularly applicable 
Though I prefer Scroobius Pip's take -
"The system might fail you but don’t fail yourself."
I think you should read what carer's is before you go on a rampage, for instance only one person can claim it and it's not your mother in law who gets the money.
I think you will find that with careers allowence you are allowed to pay someone to take you shopping and to lunch. It's not theft. Do you expect poorly/disabled people to spend all week trapped in their own home.
My mum is allocated 3 afternoons care for exactly this reason, she uses 1 for the weekly shop, one for swimming, and the other for anything.
You are allowed to employ family members, the law was changed 2 or 3 years ago, providing they are not living at the same address. When my mums careers are I'll/ problems with kids etc my sister helps out. She gets paid what the career gets paid.
If it wast my sister then my mum would get an agency in whch would cost the tax payer more.
My sister pays tax on this income and my mum has to send in all the paper work every 3 months. Enfact I think someone comes round to audit it yearly.
What the **** do you lot know about bunch of self important pricks

I can't edit the post on my iPhone. So to the op. From what you have posted your sister in law and mil are not commuting benifit fraud. Perhaps rather then making accusations you talk to your family.
In theory if you m & s in l have your wife down as a career doesn't mean they are benifitting from it. I am a known 'career' to my mum but I have not dome anything for years. Social don't pay per the carer, they will give your mum a set amount every week and it's up to her to spend t the way she wants.
If however theybare telling the taxman your wife is working them that's different.

some of the rest of you piggy eyed greedy rabble are a bunch of sanctimonious asshats..
The OP even states in his post that carers allowance should only be used for helping with meds and showers in his opinion..
I know a few folk who are very much in need of a carer for getting out and about.. and fully entitled.. with doctors and social services backing.. to claim for such..
ian pinder has got it absolutely spot on..
and since when do you contact the authorities before speaking to your family about their actions!!!?
for goodness sake.. this thread thoroughly sickens and disgusts me.. I'm out
No one likes a grass, try and claim some for yourself too
again i say 
And well you might, pitduck; and well you might...
Whatever's happening an internet forum is definitely the place to sort it out.
If you're going to take the moral high ground, you better make sure your ass is clean.
Can you categorically state that you have never benefited from the state when you were not fully entitles to? Either by tax avoidance, perhaps paying cash for a job 'cos it's cheaper or claimed unemployment benefit without always actively looking for work or any of a number of small deals which plenty of people use.
Ultimately you asked if you should shop or not, I say 'not'.
So did you grass on your mum and sister in law?
did you ?
well did you
Maybe he went down the "quiet word route" and now he "sleeps with the fishes"
Tis all on the web..
