flag The UK now can access claimants' bank data to verify benefits eligibility and fight fraud.

flag The UK’s Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) now has new legal authority to access bank account data for claimants of Universal Credit, Employment and Support Allowance, and Pension Credit to verify eligibility and combat fraud. flag The move, enabled by recent legislation, allows direct requests to financial institutions and aims to improve the accuracy and integrity of benefit distribution. flag While currently limited to these three benefits, officials say expansion to other programs is possible. flag The initiative reflects ongoing government efforts to ensure public funds are used appropriately while supporting those in need.
