more fraud by the dwp hay point 7 percent of claimants they say are fraudulent claims silly me

[Tobias]

have I read it right? Pension credit the largest for fraud, I bet many have private pensions they didn't know they had to declare (due to lack of information), or pensions they didn't know they had from companies they worked for.

whot ever t we now they lie we now they tell porkies and truthfully there isn't much fraud caused by those claiming it seems once again dwp will stretch the truth point seven percent fraud caused by claimants lets see again notalot is it they themselves make the errors which they then penalise you for it

[Tobias]

That''s about right Jeff, they make the errors and everyone else gets tarred with the same brush to distract from the truth.
