Social Security Benefits: Cynon Valley
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many constituents in the Cynon Valley her Department has decided to waive recovery of an overpayment of benefit which was not due to a fault of the claimant in financial year 2021-22.
- Answer
-
The Department for Work and Pensions does not hold data (of this type) by constituency.
As such, the information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
DWP’s fraud and error estimates for the 2021/22 financial year, which include estimates of Official Error overpayments, can be found in our annual publication – see link below.
