DWP payments supporting people on disability benefits including PIP alleged target of £800,000 fraud
Two men have been arrested on suspicion of fraudulently claiming disability benefits, as part of a major anti-fraud government crackdown. The men are alleged to have created 15 identities between 2019 and 2023 to defraud £800,000 from the public purse.
Further co-ordinated action will see the DWP work with partners to ensure that any vulnerable claimants who had their benefits hijacked are supported and have their entitlements correctly altered. There are also plans to increase DWP officers’ powers to conduct searches, seize evidence, and make arrests.
