Report benefit fraud

    If you think someone is committing benefit fraud you can report it online to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)

    There has to be a good reason for investigating someone for benefit fraud – so you’ll need to give as much of the following information as possible:

    • the name and address of the person you’re reporting and their partner, if they have one
    • a description of the person
    • the type of benefit theft you think they are committing and why you suspect them
    • information about their employer, if you think they’re working
    • information about their vehicle, if they have one

    The information you provide is strictly confidential.

    You don’t have to give your name unless you want to.
