That's more common then you'd think...

But is it common to this extent? I can imagine a lot people claiming their child has this or that to gain a few extra benefits, that would be very common. But this is an insane level of fraud.

I've read estimates of like... 625 children a year in the US because of it.

Other then that it's hard to predict because it's hard to prove but it could be VERY substantial.
