Investigators are suspicious of a woman's claims, and Dom meets a blinded man.

Investigators are suspicious of a woman who has been claiming for a disabled husband and three disabled children, and Dom meets a man blinded in a brutal attack.

Looking after a disabled husband and three disabled children is no easy task, so 45-year-old Jayne has been getting a helping hand from the taxpayer in the form of tax credits. But the bill is mounting, and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs investigators are suspicious. They are right to be suspicious, as Jayne's imagination seems to have run away with her to the tune of over a hundred grand. 

And Dom meets Chris, who lost his sight in a random brutal attack. Putting his life back together is no easy task, but help is at hand.
