DWP is cracking down on benefit fraud
The Department for Work and Pensions is cracking down on benefit fraudsters after new figures suggested billions of pounds could be wrongly claimed by 2027.
The DWP’s definition of benefit fraud is when “someone obtains state benefit they are not entitled to or deliberately fails to report a change in their personal circumstances.” Many investigators wear plain clothes and can show up at your home or work at any time, which could be frightening. But having some knowledge about DWP investigations can make all the difference, enabling you to live your life as normally as possible while an investigation is underway.
