answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>The public can report benefit fraud by telephoning the National Benefit Fraud Hotline which is a confidential free phone service that anyone can use anonymously to report their suspicions. The service is widely used handling over 350,000 referrals in 2013/14. Alternatively an allegation can be made using an online facility, by letter, or by telephoning a Jobcentre Plus office.</p><p> </p><p>We recently ran a communications campaign pilot to test the effectiveness of communications in reducing fraud and error and we are looking to expand this activity. Our communication campaign aims to challenge and change attitudes and behaviours towards benefit fraud. This includes improving awareness of the need for claimants to report changes in their circumstances and encouraging the general public to report potential benefit fraud.</p><p> </p><p>We are actively looking at ways to improve fraud referrals, in particular, focusing on making better use of digital channels and technology.</p> answering member constituency Wirral West answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 30/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
