Social Security Benefits: North East
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent estimate she has made of the levels of (a) fraud and (b) error in the welfare system in the North East.
Answered by Andrew Western
Estimates of the levels of fraud and error in the benefit system for the financial year 2024-25 can be found at: Fraud and error in the benefit system: financial year 2024 to 2025 estimates - GOV.UK
We do not provide sub-national estimates of fraud and error as we are unable to break the statistics down to this level.
