National Benefit Fraud Hotline
Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
I am interested in the National Benefit Fraud Hotline cases in the last seven years and have seen the written answer HC Deb, 5 April 2011, c748W. I am interested in the same data updated to the latest available. Therefore:
From 2010 to 2016, please provide the number of National Benefit Fraud Hotline cases that have been closed by the Fraud Investigation Service and the total number of cases closed by Customer Compliance.
For the same time period please also provide a) the total number of these cases where error was found, b) the total number of these cases which received a fraud sanction and c) the total number of criminal convictions as a result of these cases.
Should any part of this request be undeliverable due to cost or practical considerations, please give top priority to providing the most recent figures and to the volumes of cases closed.
Yours faithfully,
Lucy Zwolinska
