Hi group,
Can a Local Authority ask another business for information that would help
in an investigation into fraudulent benefits claims under section 29 of the
Act ?
An example would be where a claimant has been issued with a cheque, claims
it has been destroyed and asks for another cheque. It later transpires that
the cheque has been cashed. Can the council seek information from the
business that cashed the cheque?
Regards,
Graeme
