flag UK cracks down on benefit fraud, aiming to save £14.6B by 2031 after a care worker falsely claimed £85K.

flag The UK's Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) reaffirmed its fight against benefit fraud after a care worker admitted claiming £85,000 by hiding she lived with her partner. flag The DWP said fraud harms those in need and highlighted it saved £25 billion last year, with fraud and error rates expected to drop to 2.8% by 2028/29. flag It launched a major fraud crackdown aiming to save £14.6 billion by 2031 using new powers under the Public Authorities (Fraud, Error and Recovery) Act, which could deliver £2.1 billion in benefits. flag The DWP focuses on investigations and prosecutions, while courts handle sentencing. flag Overpayments are recovered with repayment plans adjusted to avoid hardship, and claimants can seek help via GOV.UK. flag The public is urged to report suspected fraud online, by phone, or mail.
