Uc review teams have blocked £1 billion of payments already! was created by Anisty
Thought this might be of interest - reviews are cracking on a pace right through to their 2030 target savings of over 13 billion quid.

Hi Anisty
And the following is the response from Welfare Advice Charity Rightsnet--
Almost 6,000 DWP staff are now involved in ‘targeted case review’ activity which has helped identify more than £1bn of incorrect universal credit payments in the last three years
New statistics also show that the proportion of completed reviews that included errors has averaged 21 per cent since the review team was launched in 2022
Almost 6,000 DWP staff are now involved in 'targeted case review' activity and have saved more than £1 billion of incorrect universal credit payments, according to DWP statistics.
New management information published today highlights that, since their introduction in 2022, targeted case reviews have saved £1.168 billion of incorrect universal credit payments, with most of the savings (£901 million) coming from 2024/2025, reflecting the government's decision to nearly double the number of people working in the review team since July 2024.

I looked at the link and it is a load of waffle to cover up a fact that the government would rather you did not know about.
A family member is a fairly senior member of DWP staff employed in their serious fraud department. They tell me that UC fraud is unbelievable and the DWP were warned of this when they set up UC but chose to ignore the advice of their own staff.
UC, the way it was originally set up, was a fraudsters dream, with multiple claims and false identities absolutely rife.
The government will not admit to this, you can GUARANTEE that. Instead what has been happening now, with forced migration, in fact the entire OBJECT of forced migration, is a huge "data trawl"
This WILL save vast amounts, but you can be sure that the government will not state the TRUE reasons for the savings, [foreign gangs with literally, call centres full of people making false claims] but will try to claim, or at least blame by implication that the money was saved by catching ordinary people that have "overstated" their disabilities..
