It is our policy to deter and prevent housing benefit fraud and prosecute those who abuse the system.

We aim to provide a Benefit service that ensures the right benefit gets to the right person at the right time. 

The integrity of the system will be maintained by investigating and punishing those who perpetrate fraud and ensuring that any overpaid benefit is promptly recovered.
