Regarding previous owner of my home

Just wondering if I will now be investigated, due to reporting someone claiming benefit and using my address? I am so worried I am not able to sleep. I do not want to lose my DLA it was so hard to get and I was so happy at having a five year award. Should I get a copy of the letter that I received for the previous owner and forward that, but then to who would I send it? I will be so grateful for any advice.
Thanks

Hi Jude,

The DWP get literally tens of thousands of calls about benefit fraud every year and only a tiny proportion of the alleged fraudsters get investigated, let alone the people who report them.

The DWP have no reason at all to want to investigate you.

Only 1 out of 600 calls to the "shop a cheat" phone line has any basis in fact.
That is why the TV advertisments are a total sham.
