Research background
This research explores the acceptability of potential legislative measures to help reduce levels of fraud, error and debt in the benefits system, as set out in the May 2022 policy paper, Fighting Fraud in the Welfare System .
The research also sought to understand public perceptions of fraud, error and debt in the welfare benefits system.
Contribution to the evidence base
Although fraud and error have been researched in the British Social Attitudes survey, data on a full range of questions had not been gathered before the pandemic, and at the time of the survey’s inception it was not clear which questions would be asked in British Social Attitudes survey 2022.
Research value
Findings from the research will supplement our wider evidence base on public perceptions of fraud, error and debt.
