Government rejects calls to separate, and publish separately, - TopicsExpress



          

Government rejects calls to separate, and publish separately, benefit fraud and error statistics. Their response reads: We agree that evidence suggests public perceptions of fraud in the benefit system do not reflect the situation. However, it is clear that this notion is not based on the national statistics, whether fraud, error or the total. Therefore we do not believe that changing the national statistics would have the desired effect on public understanding. Maintaining the link between them allows context to be drawn i.e. that fraud is substantially lower than error.
