answer text <p>The number and detected values of fraud listed below for each financial year represent the categories provided in Question 21551. The total detected fraud values vary slightly from those provided in the letter on 27 February, reference 3427, because the assessed detected value of fraud can change as a case progresses. Since 2010, the information capture requirement has evolved with reporting needs; this is most evident following a review undertaken in 2020.</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="15"><p><strong>Number of cases / detected fraud value (£k)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Fraud Category</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2010/11</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2011/12</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012/13</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013/14</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014/15</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015/16</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016/17</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017/18</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2018/19</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2019/20</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2020/21</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2021/22</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2022/23</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2023/24</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Civilian Allowances</p></td><td><p>1/218</p></td><td><p>1/65</p></td><td><p>3/39</p></td><td><p>4/4</p></td><td><p>2/11</p></td><td><p>3/3</p></td><td><p>9/113</p></td><td><p>11/166</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Civilian Expenses</p></td><td><p>8/12</p></td><td><p>16/37</p></td><td><p>14/5</p></td><td><p>16/12</p></td><td><p>9/192</p></td><td><p>123/38</p></td><td><p>100/25</p></td><td><p>45/57</p></td><td><p>242/49</p></td><td><p>39/20</p></td><td><p>20/10</p></td><td><p>28/23</p></td><td><p>12/70</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Civilian Pay</p></td><td><p>1/2</p></td><td><p>2/50</p></td><td><p>1/25</p></td><td><p>6/112</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Service Allowances</p></td><td><p>1/2</p></td><td><p>4/287</p></td><td><p>2/34</p></td><td><p>4/20</p></td><td><p>9/144</p></td><td><p>9/62</p></td><td><p>12/233</p></td><td><p>10/79</p></td><td><p>12/140</p></td><td><p>22/300</p></td><td><p>48/984</p></td><td><p>38/746</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Service Expenses</p></td><td><p>1/160</p></td><td><p>7/21</p></td><td><p>23/128</p></td><td><p>6/10</p></td><td><p>10/24</p></td><td><p>10/346</p></td><td><p>7/26</p></td><td><p>10/5</p></td><td><p>8/4</p></td><td><p>4/7</p></td><td><p>2/0</p></td><td><p>4/7</p></td><td><p>50/34</p></td><td><p>22/47</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Service Pay</p></td><td><p>1/2</p></td><td><p>4/50</p></td><td><p>3/35</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Cyber and communication</p></td><td><p>1/89</p></td><td><p>1/32</p></td><td><p>2/193</p></td><td><p>6/441</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Departmental Income Related</p></td><td><p>1/0</p></td><td><p>1/89</p></td><td><p>1/6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Exploiting Assets and Information</p></td><td><p>2/150</p></td><td><p>7/10</p></td><td><p>8/5</p></td><td><p>5/177</p></td><td><p>8/543</p></td><td><p>9/476</p></td><td><p>11/673</p></td><td><p>19/572</p></td><td><p>25/743</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Joint Personnel Administration, Travel &amp;

This is dependent upon circumstances but normally would not extend beyond an Inquest or Service Inquiry. Appropriate transition plans will be put in place including arrangements for ongoing support to be provided through a point of contact from either the relevant single Service aftercare cell or unit HR staff.</p><p> </p><p>Via DBS’s Veterans Welfare Service (VWS), Defence also provides support to the bereaved via its national network of welfare managers (WM). A WM is assigned to families who experience a death in service and usually attends the initial visit alongside the VO. Support from VWS then endures for as long as is required and focuses on access to financial, welfare and wellbeing support as required, including issues in relation to the Armed Forces Pension. WMs who support clients in such circumstances are specifically trained and supervised as part of a VWS experts’ group. VWS is part of the Defence Bereaved Families Group.</p><p> </p>
