A new petition has appeared on the government’s epetition website urging that people who maliciously report innocent claimants for benefits fraud be prosecuted.
The full petition reads:
Given the success rate of the "shop a benefit fraud" hotline is only 0.31%, a large number of people are being maliciously accused of benefit fraud. Such malicious people should be subject the criminal law similar to wasting police time.
