Benefit Fraud & Financial Allegations
Benefit fraud occurs when an individual deliberately deceives the government to receive financial benefits or assistance they are not entitled to. This includes falsely claiming unemployment benefits, housing benefits, or income support by providing false information about income, assets, or personal circumstances.
Types of Benefit Fraud
- False claims about income or assets
- Overstating disability or other medical conditions
- Incorrect family composition or non-disclosure of partners
- Falsifying housing claims
Consequences of Benefit Fraud:
If you are found guilty of benefit fraud, you could face a variety of consequences, including heavy fines, imprisonment, or being required to pay back the benefits you received.
We help defend clients who face these allegations by challenging evidence, gathering supporting documents, and presenting alternative explanations for any discrepancies.
