About the Service
The key activities of the Benefit Fraud Section can be categorised into three main areas of work:
- investigation of the cases referred to us from various sources
- proactive exercises
- regulated initiatives
We aim to provide a high quality and professional service for the prevention and detection of fraud and, by doing so, secure the gateway to the Benefits System.
The Fraud Section will assist with development of a counter-fraud strategy to detect and investigate all allegations of fraud that are received. It will also seek to identify potential "high risk" fraud activity before it drains the system using Information Technology and data systems.
