Benefit fraud is when any member of the public falsely declares money from the government through a number of claims such as disability allowance or single parent help benefits.
Therefore the problem means that there are people everywhere claiming money that they do not deserve, not only making it unfair for other members of the public but unfortunately resulting in these members having to pay money towards the benefits the others claim through tax etc.
During 2007/09 the department of W&P (work and pensions) paid out around 126 billion pounds on benefits to the public and 2.1% of this was estimated as the value which was overpaid due to fraud. £2.7bn is indeed a large amount of money to be paid out through false pretences and often there are opportunities to stop it but not everyone is aware how to do this.
There are various fraud help lines and ways in which you can anonymously report benefit fraud with confidence and of course will receive the advice and support you need to crack down on this type of crime. Or another option is to do your part for the government yourself by taking on one of the manyrevenues and benefits jobswhich are always featured in recruitment agencies job lists in a variety of different mediums.
By moving into this kind of career it will provide you with a sense of control as it's your responsibility to provide members of the public with their benefits and assess whether they are worthy of such a payout. New skills will also be learnt along the way such as communication, cooperation and you will also be dealing with targets, deadlines and tough decisions which in addition will be beneficial in the long term.
Other jobs around this sector which will use similar skills are careers withinhousing jobsand anti-social behaviour jobs which also rely on relationship building, quick decision and a number of challenges as well as rewarding results. Being in control is always good and although you are working for a company it provides the employer with a sense of self employment in which most decisions and outcomes are made on their behalf.
