Benefit Fraud Legal Services: Specialising in DWP Benefit Fraud
“Thank you for the help and expertise you provided in dealing with the accusations of DWP fraud. Throughout the process you were positive and reassuring. What you did for us was over and above our expectations, we will always be grateful for resolving the horrible situation we were in”
Mr & Mrs W – Manchester
If you are worried about your claim being irregular or you are suspected of benefit fraud, and even if you are sure that you haven’t done anything wrong, you will make things much worse by not getting prompt expert help.
Each year, around 30,000 people are prosecuted in the criminal courts for benefit fraud and find themselves facing hefty repayments, fines, Community Orders and even imprisonment. Many of these cases would not have got to court if specialist legal advice had been sought at an early stage.
We are the only legal practice in the country that specialises solely in benefit fraud.
If all you need is legal engagement and advice, then a consultation with one of our specialist solicitors is often all it takes to resolve most cases. If you need representation then we will represent you in person at an interview or court.
The DWP use many different approaches to detect what they think might be benefit fraud. Most people will be aware that the DWP encourage people to report allegedly fraudulent claimants, but they also use credit reports, utility bills and bank information too. Some of the little known tools the DWP and local councils have access to include –
- GMS: a system for detecting bank balances which are over the capital limits.
- RTI: a database updated in real time showing wage and salary information.
- Searchlight: a method of documenting a persons entire work history.
