Profit claimants had been underpaid to the tune of £2.6bn final yr, new figures present.
The Division for Work and Pensions (DWP) stated 1.2 per cent of whole profit expenditure was underpaid because of fraud and error within the monetary yr to April 2022.
Over the identical interval, the estimated worth of overpayments was £8.6bn, some 4 per cent of the entire profit expenditure. That ends in a internet overpayment of £6bn.
