Common types of benefit fraud include not telling us:

• about other money coming in, including earnings

• when couples are living together as husband and wife, as civil partners and as same sex couples

• about any savings they may have

Fraudsters also try to claim benefit when they are not living at the address they have given, such as:

• when they are living abroad

• after they have moved

• giving false addresses to make many claims

60% of all benefit fraud comes from fraudulent claims for Income Support, Jobseeker’s Allowance and Housing Benefit. We take benefit fraud seriously and we are continuously reducing and tackling fraud.
