Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how much benefit expenditure was lost to relatives claiming benefit for claimants who had died in the most recent year for which figures are available; and how much such expenditure was falsely claimed by claimants registered as living (a) in the UK and (b) abroad.
As no central record is kept of this information, we are unable to provide the requested data.
