Information and evidence provided helps the Benefit Services Division to deal with enquiries and claims relating to housing and council tax benefit. It may be shared with other Council services and partner organisations to prevent and detect fraud, ensure that records are accurate and to help identify services in which benefit claimants may be entitled to or be interested in. Further information on how the Benefit Services Division uses your data is available on www.dudley.gov.uk
From time to time during benefit fraud investigations, the Councils fraud investigators will obtain personal information without consent from the individual being investigated.
