Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

The Benefit Agency is setting up a computer database to register all people found guilty or suspected of fraud of social security benefits. It is planned as a pilot project in London but is likely to be extended. The project has been developed in conjunction with local authorities and will be accessible by all local authority designated fraud offices. It will also be open to all benefit agency staff engaged in the prevention and investigation of fraud.

Our work is only possible with your support.
