We asked DWP what the extra funding would achieve in terms of reduced fraud. It told us that it would be doing more Targeted Case Reviews and more of its business-as-usual work on counter fraud and compliance. It would also be doing some new things, such as regularly asking UC claimants to confirm that their circumstances are up to date. It said that, although people’s claims were correct when they made them, they tended not to get round to letting DWP know when something changed in their lives, such as a partner moving in which meant they should be claiming as a household rather than as two separate individuals.65
