The Public Authorities (Fraud, Error & Recovery) Bill

The Public Authorities (Fraud, Error & Recovery) Bill’s provisions, as currently proposed, represent a significant shift in the balance between combating fraud and protecting individual rights. While addressing fraudulent claims and recovering funds are legitimate goals, the government must ensure that these measures do not infringe on legal protections or human dignity.

Universal Credit Phone Scams

To protect yourself from phone scams, you can insist that the DWP email you or send a letter for official communication. Additionally, setting your phone to silence unknown callers and enabling “Do Not Disturb” mode ensures that only calls from your favorites list come through, reducing the risk of falling victim to fraudulent calls. Typically, the DWP will also send a text message informing you that they will be calling, so be cautious of unexpected phone calls and verify their authenticity through official channels before sharing any personal information.
