answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2022 answer text <p>Certain UK benefits can be paid to individuals residing outside the UK under social security reciprocal agreements. Individuals in receipt of DWP benefits are required to inform the Department for Work and Pensions if their address changes, including if they move to another country, and this is set out in communications to customers. Where individuals have informed the Department of their move abroad, then they are not claiming a benefit fraudulently.</p><p> </p><p>Operational staff have received guidance and training for dealing with cases under these agreements, to ensure that, when individuals inform us of a move to another country, they know how this will impact their benefit entitlement.</p><p> </p><p>In those instances where there is intelligence that a person may not be entitled to a benefit they are receiving, or fails to respond to requests for information to be provided, then the Department can suspend their benefit entitlement pending further investigation. The Department will seek to recover any money claimed fraudulently.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 03/02/2022 16:55:05 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
