Crackdown on people wrongly claiming child benefit could save taxpayers millions
The government said that a pressure on child aid plaintiffs, which was moved abroad, will save £ 350 million from taxpayers over the next five years.
A Cabinet Office team will monitor the travel data of the benefit of the plaintiffs and target those who leave the country and no longer have to pay the right to pay.
A pilot of the program comes after seeing 15 researchers from 2,600 plaintiffs who have left the UK but still receive child aid.
The pilot saved £ 17 million to taxpayers, and the authorities said that the full release of the plan would bring savings to 350 million pounds.
The government will see a team of 200 researchers who examine the benefit of the benefit of the benefits that it will be an open warning to those who try to defraud the system ”.
Cabinet Office Minister Georgia Gould said: “This government stands for people who demand benefit when not appropriate.
“From September onwards, we will have ten times more researchers who saved hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayers.
“If you are asking for benefits that you do not get authorized, your time is over.”
Savings will contribute to the pressure that prevents parents from demanding benefits for the third or next child born after April 2017 in order to scrape the government with a two -child cap for a child’s assistance.
The child’s advantage is one of the most demanded welfare payments and supports 11.9 million children to 6.9 million families throughout England.
For more than eight weeks that prevent exceptional conditions, those who have been out of the UK are no longer allowed to request child assistance, and the plaintiffs are expected to inform HMRC after leaving the country.
The proceedings will see that child benefit records are controlled against the international travel data of the plaintiffs and who are directed to the inspectors to reveal the wrong payments of the country.
The presentation came in front of a child poverty strategy to be published by Sir Keir Starmer and Training Secretary Bridget Phillipson this autumn and called for deputies to end the OSBORNE-E.CED two children’s cover as a priority.
It was initially published in spring, but it was pushed to overlap with the second budget of Rachel Reeves, which was expected in November.
While conservatives are in power, two children were introduced to the benefits, and critics say that getting rid of it would be the most effective way to reduce child poverty in the UK.
Sir Keir left the door open to scrape the door, but warned that the lifting of the border would not be a “silver bullets ında in the fight against child poverty.
