The UK will let DWP access benefit recipients' bank data in 2026 to fight fraud and save £1.5 billion.
The UK government is introducing the Fraud, Error and Recovery Bill, set to take effect in 2026, allowing the DWP to access bank details of benefit recipients, including those on Universal Credit, ESA, and Pension Credit, to combat fraud.
The move targets an estimated 24 million claimants as of February 2025 and aims to save £1.5 billion over five years.
The legislation is part of a Labour-led effort to strengthen benefit integrity, though concerns about privacy and oversight persist.
