A to Z

Benefit fraud costs the average tax-payer £70 a year. Nationally, this is in excess of £1.5 billion.

Ipswich Borough Council's Anti-Fraud Unit was established in 1990 in order to investigate claims for Housing and Council Tax Benefit where it was suspected that the incorrect or untruthful information was submitted on a claim form in order to obtain benefit unlawfully.

Please help us to stop the benefit cheats and to make sure that benefits go to those who are genuinely entitled to them. If you suspect someone of obtaining benefits unlawfully please report them.
