The welfare benefits system is full of many complex and technical rules. It can be quite daunting for a claimant to be told that they may lose the benefits that they have become reliant on. Some claimants may also be subject to an accusation of benefit fraud. This could potentially lead to a prison sentence and having to repay overpaid benefits.
