flag UK benefit claimants face up to £50 fines for not reporting changes that cause overpayments.

flag The UK's Department for Work and Pensions can fine benefit claimants, including Universal Credit recipients, up to £50 if they receive overpayments due to not reporting changes in circumstances. flag This "civil penalty" is added to the overpayment and collected the same way. flag Claimants must report changes like a new address or family member to avoid fines or potential fraud prosecution. flag Fines can be challenged through a reconsideration process or by appealing to an independent tribunal.
