DWP: Two month warning for PIP & other benefits claimants

Over 20 million individuals across the UK rely on Universal Credit and various benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to manage the additional costs of daily life. These benefits are crucial during the ongoing cost of living crisis, and the UK Government is actively working to prevent exploitation of the benefits system.

Recent DWP figures reveal a positive trend, with fraud and error rates decreasing from 4.0% (£8.7 billion) to 3.6% (£8.3 billion) in the 2022/23 financial year. As part of ongoing efforts, the DWP plans to measure claims for six specific benefits, including Universal Credit and Housing Benefit, in the upcoming financial year (2024/25). The DWP’s commitment to transparency includes publishing a fraud and error report for the financial year ending 2024 in May 2025.

The DWP distinguishes four types of fraud and error, encompassing scenarios where entitlement conditions are not met, common examples of benefit fraud, claimant errors, and official errors. By addressing these issues, the DWP aims to ensure the fair and efficient distribution of benefits while safeguarding taxpayers’ money.

  1. It’s encouraging to see the DWP’s efforts in reducing fraud and error rates, which ensures that benefits reach those who truly need them. The focus on transparency, such as publishing annual reports, helps build trust in the system. Measuring specific benefits in the upcoming year shows a proactive approach to addressing potential issues. However, how will the DWP ensure that these measures do not create additional barriers for legitimate claimants? Given the growing economic instability due to the events in the Middle East, many businesses are looking for guaranteed fast and secure payment solutions. Recently, I came across LiberSave (LS) — they promise instant bank transfers with no chargebacks or card verification. It says integration takes 5 minutes and is already being tested in Israel and the UAE. Has anyone actually checked how this works in crisis conditions?
