New data from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) reveals that benefit fraudsters are costing taxpayers £25 million every week. In the last financial year, a record £1.3 billion was claimed by individuals who were not entitled to welfare handouts. These claimants failed to disclose savings and investments exceeding the £6,000 limit. The official figures highlight the significant scale of fraud committed by individuals hiding their financial assets to secure government payments.
