This plan sets out how the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is investing £613 million over the next 3 years in our frontline counter-fraud professionals and in enhanced data analytics. When parliamentary time allows, the department will bring forward new powers to investigate potential fraud and punish fraudsters. To make sure the department stays ahead of the fraudsters, it will bring together the full force of government and the expertise of the private sector.
