I can't believe what they're putting people through, she said. [I'm] just a law-abiding person, who has never broken the law in my life. I've always tried to do things by the book.

The Bill aims to reduce government losses to benefit fraud and error, giving unprecedented powers to DWP for covertly checking claimant bank accounts.

A cross-party committee of MPs calls for improved protections for vulnerable benefit claimants, linking deaths and serious harm to DWP safeguarding failures.

The report highlights that thousands of pensioners are missing out on billions of pounds in DWP support due to the overly complex benefits application process.

"The DWP is set to scrap a controversial computer system that has automatically approved benefit deductions from millions of claimants at the request of private landlords."

The Supreme Court ruling has forced the DWP to review Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claims as far back as April 2016, potentially resulting in significant back payments for thousands.
