They are being very specific
A number of Universal Credit claimants say they have received "bizarre" requests from the Department of Work and Pensions to prove they are entitled to benefit payments. The DWP says it is issuing specific requests in order to verify claims and prevent fraud.
This decision was made so people who had lost their jobs or had their wages cut could access vital state support as soon as possible. The DWP started revisiting claims made during this period in January 2021, and some people whose Universal Credit applications were approved have reportedly had to pay back all their benefits due to not being eligible for the funds.
One of the ways the DWP carried out checks in asking for photographs, as some fraudsters use photo-shopped pictures in their attempt to verify a fraudulent benefit claim. A series of images have previously been released where people appeared to have doctored photos to pretend they were living at addresses they had claimed from.
