Fraud and error in the benefit system (updated)

These statistical reports provide estimates of fraud and error for benefits administered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and local authorities.

Accompanying each estimate report, we also publish data tables that provide the user with detailed estimates by different types of fraud and error.

Statistical reports for the periods from 2006 to 2010 can be found in the National Archives.
