UK benefit claimants face up to £50 fines for not reporting changes that cause overpayments.
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.
This "civil penalty" is added to the overpayment and collected the same way.
Claimants must report changes like a new address or family member to avoid fines or potential fraud prosecution.
Fines can be challenged through a reconsideration process or by appealing to an independent tribunal.
