New DWP plans to claw back overpayments directly from claimant bank accounts

The DWP said that there will be safeguarding and oversight measures introduced and staff will receive training on the use of any new powers.



The main conceptual idea of the text is that the UK government, through the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), is planning to introduce new laws allowing them to directly reclaim benefit overpayments from individuals' bank accounts. This measure is specifically aimed at individuals who have committed benefit fraud and have the means to repay but refuse. The DWP emphasizes that this power will only be used as a last resort and will be accompanied by safeguards, oversight mechanisms, and staff training. The ultimate goal is to make sure that people who cheat the system are held accountable and to protect the funds allocated for hardworking families by reducing the occurrence of benefit overpayments.
