You think you're being accused of benefit fraud

If the office which pays your benefits suspects you of giving them wrong or misleading information to do with your benefits, they may investigate you for fraud. If the investigators find enough evidence to suggest you may have committed fraud, you could be prosecuted and you may have to pay back any benefit you have been overpaid. This page tells you more about benefit fraud and what to do if you’re suspected of it
