DLA Fraud

The trend towards DWP prosecuting cases of benefits fraud related to disability benefits has continued to increase and these cases are particularly complex to defend.

These cases involve the comparison of evidence from DLA forms completed sometimes years ago with the observational evidence from DWP officers conducting surveillance on claimants over periods of weeks or months sometimes using static cameras situated in neighbouring properties. - MJP solicitors

The DWP investigate and prosecute cases with the objective of deterring people from claiming benefits that they are not entitled to. Publicity and headlines are a result even if the case is successfully defended. The papers rarely report those cases where a specialist firm of solicitors defends cases of benefit fraud.
