Anyone tempted to file for something they aren't actually eligible for — that's fraud, not a side income strategy.
There is essentially no financial risk if you only file for things you're genuinely eligible for — the only real caution is that filing false or ineligible claims is fraud, which carries its own separate legal risk.
