Universal Credit Fraud

The request was partially successful.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

In the past 12 months how many Universal Credit claimants were identified as holding assets greater than £16,000? Did any of those that were identified face criminal prosecution or punitive financial fines? If so, please provide details.

Yours faithfully,

John Klingman
