## Resource

The Department for Work and Pensions is cracking down on Universal Credit fraud by scrutinizing claimants with £16,000 or more in savings—potentially even those with £6,000 to £16,000—sending out Eligibility Verification Notices to banks to verify eligibility without accessing personal accounts or monitoring spending. The goal? Catch errors or fraud faster, prevent overpayment debts, and keep benefits flowing to those truly in need. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
