There are many different ways of committing fraud while claiming
benefit. Listed below are a selection of the most common types of
benefit fraud that are committed:
- Persons who claim benefit who haven't notified the council they
are living with a partner who is earning a wage.
- Persons that don't declare their actual income/capital.
- Persons who do not declare they have lodgers/dependants living
in their property.
- Persons who do not declare they are related to their
landlord.
- Contrived tenancy to take advantage of the benefits
system.
We would ask anyone who is aware of fraud to notify us by using
