This is the primary Departmental indicator for levels of fraud and error in the benefit system. The Fraud and Error National Statistics published for this indicator include global estimates for fraud and error in the benefit system.
In addition there are more detailed estimates for Income Support, Jobseeker’s Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, Pension Credit and Housing Benefit, and for types of error. This indicator is important for Departmental assurance on the effect of
anti-fraud and error activity across the businesses.
