If you think someone is committing benefit fraud, you can tell us about online or by using our dedicated phone line.
This may, for example, include instances where a person is claiming Benefit but has not declared income or that they are working.
If you are reporting benefit fraud, you need to tell us as much information as you can about the suspected fraudsters, including:
- their name and address
- what they are doing
- anything else you think we should know
If you think someone is living at a property undeclared, whether it be with a partner or by subletting, you can help our enquiries by telling us:
- their name and address
- vehicle registration plates
- personal details
- physical descriptions of the unknown occupant.
