BENEFIT FRAUD

BENEFIT FRAUD

Getting investigated and prosecuted of benefit fraud can be extremely serious and can result in a significant lengthy prison sentence. This is because over a long period of time even relatively small weekly or monthly payments can add up to a significant amount. 

However, as well as a prison sentence, Proceeds of Crime Act proceedings can be taken to recover the money from which can also be a stressful time.

 

If you are contacted and formally invited to in most cases a voluntary interview under caution or charged with an offence, it is extremely important that you seek immediate legal advice and representation.
