DWP has published survey findings on public perception of potential new powers to tackle benefit fraud.
The Department for Work and Pensions is exploring potential legislative measures to help reduce levels of fraud, error and debt in the benefits system, as set out in the May 2022 policy paper, ‘Fighting Fraud in the Welfare System’.
The most recent DWP figures indicates that 22.8 million people across the UK are in receipt of at least one benefit, although it's important to note that State Pension is included in that total as it is a contributory benefit. Some 39 per cent of respondents thought that around half of incorrect benefit claims were a result of dishonesty, while 31 per cent thought that most were due to dishonesty. Only 17 per cent thought that most incorrect claims were due to mistakes.
