answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2024 answer text <p>Whilst the power covers all benefits to ensure we are empowered to address fraud and error wherever it arises, the Impact Assessment makes clear that we initially intend to use the power for Universal Credit, Employment Support Allowance, Pension Credit and Housing Benefit (passported from Pension Credit). DWP can also only exercise this power in relation to benefits for which DWP is responsible.</p><p> </p><p>The Third-Party Data Measure is estimated to save up to £600m by 2028/29. This was certified by the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) during the Autumn Statement 2023 and updated for the Spring Budget 2024. This is based on the initial use of the power which includes savings from the four benefits outlined above and the pilot period. Further information about the methodology can be found in the published impact assessment (<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6564bab01524e6000da10168/DWP_third_party_data_impact_assessment_november_2023.pdf" target="_blank">DWP_third_party_data_impact_assessment_november_2023.pdf (publishing.service.gov.uk)</a>).</p><p> </p><p>The table below shows savings are split by each of benefit and that we are testing the measure. Estimates of these savings as a proportion of overall estimated fraud for each of these benefits is not available as the AME savings modelled are not directly comparable to the Monetary Value of Fraud and Error.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>£m</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2025-26</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2026-27</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2027-28</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2028-29</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>ESA</strong></p></td><td><p>£5</p></td><td><p>£18</p></td><td><p>£52</p></td><td><p>£41</p></td><td><p><em>£116</em></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>HB (passported from PC)</strong></p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p>£4</p></td><td><p>£11</p></td><td><p>£14</p></td><td><p><em>£29</em></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>PC</strong></p></td><td><p>£7</p></td><td><p>£26</p></td><td><p>£78</p></td><td><p>£103</p></td><td><p><em>£214</em></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>UC</strong></p></td><td><p>£5</p></td><td><p>£23</p></td><td><p>£79</p></td><td><p>£126</p></td><td><p><em>£233</em></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Note: figures may not sum due to rounding</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 23/05/2024 10:39:00 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
