16 years of fraud: How did the 'deaf' mother deceive the insurance company?
Various insurance frauds are recorded around the world, but this case was organized with an unbelievable level of skill. Notably, a woman who was injured at work pretended to be deaf and mute for 16 years to receive disability benefits.

False Silence: The 'Game' that Started in 2009
According to Oddity Central, in 2019, while examining the woman's medical records, the insurance company encountered a suspicious detail:

No doctor who had seen her since 2009 noted that she was unable to speak.

The woman had consulted various specialists — ophthalmologists, dermatologists, and others. However, none of them documented her 'deafness'.

Investigators Step In: 'Talking with Mothers' and 'Asking for Directions'
A psychologist also indicated that the woman's condition was suspicious. However, there was not enough basis to open a criminal case with so much doubt. Subsequently, the insurance company hired a private investigator.

This investigator:
  • Saw the woman talking on the phone with other mothers in front of the school;
  • Approached her as a passerby to ask for directions to gather more evidence;
  • The 'deaf' woman explained the route in detail.

The Court Made a Decision: No Benefits Will Be Paid
As a result of the investigations, the court ruled — the insurance company was relieved of the obligation to pay benefits to the woman.

A new criminal case was also opened on the grounds of fraud.

The insurance company is ready to take the next step: they plan to go to court again to recover the funds paid over the 16 years.

Conclusion: Justice Decided, Even If Late
Some consider the insurance system to be 'easy money'. However, this case is not just a caught fraud, but an attack on societal trust, the health system, and humanity.

Whenever any legal right is abused — there are consequences. This case could serve as a 'lesson' reminding future fraudsters of the value of mutual trust.
