How we use your benefit claim personal information
If you make a claim for housing benefit, council tax support or a discretionary housing payment, we might use the information held on you for other benefit-related services.
Report benefit fraud
You can report someone you think is committing benefit fraud.
Benefit fraud is committed when someone:
- intentionally does not report a change in circumstances
- is dishonest in order to get benefits or discounts
You don't have to give your name and address when you report it if you don't want to.
The DWP will look at the information you give but won't tell you the outcome of the report.
