Investigate Benefit Fraud
Fraud and error in benefits payments cost the taxpayer £3.3b per year. Typically it occurs when claimants make an application using false information, or fail to report a change of circumstances. When suspicions are raised, you need a way to investigate efficiently and fairly, and to ensure the recovery of outstanding debt.
