Benefits fraud
How can I report a suspected benefits fraud?
The council is committed to ensuring that people receive their correct entitlement to housing and/or council tax benefit and every effort will be made to deal with all claims as quickly as possible.
However, it is important that people who are claiming benefit to which they are not entitled are reported to the Benefits Service so that the appropriate action can be taken against them.
If you are aware of or think that somebody may be claiming benefit fraudulently you can contact us on the Benefit Fraud Hotline 0800 328 6340, which is a 24-hour freephone service. Any information provided will be treated in confidence. Or, alternativley, you can complete our online fraud referral form.
