Fighting Fraud in the Welfare System: the 鈥楩raud Plan鈥�
This plan sets out how the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is investing 拢613 million over the next 3 years in our frontline counter-fraud professionals and in enhanced data analytics. When parliamentary time allows, the department will bring forward new powers to investigate potential fraud and punish fraudsters. To make sure the department stays ahead of the fraudsters, it will bring together the full force of government and the expertise of the private sector.
