Benefit fraud
9:23am Monday 24th March 2008
Comments (0)INVESTIGATORS at Kennet District Council are celebrating after uncovering more than £60,000 in overpaid housing and council tax benefit as a result of benefit fraud in the first nine months of the financial year.
During this period the council's investigation team has prosecuted 11 fraudulent benefits claimants in the courts, handed out seven administrative penalties against fraudsters in excess of £2,000 and given 18 official cautions.
Officials are warning anyone committing benefit fraud that it is only a matter of time before they are caught.
