yet another documentary on benefit fraud.

also the bbc is quoting wrong information again stating a very vague experts as source.

Experts estimate that £4bn of taxpayers' money is being lost to benefit fraud, tax credit fraud and social housing scams in the UK each year.

osborne stated right after the election 5 billion was lost to fraud but then was corrected down to 1.5billion (across the entire benefit system) with the other 3.5 lost to admin errors. So curious how the bbc has got a 4 billion figure.
I will say as well the bbc is the news agency who have refused to print stories regarding unfair treatment of claimants and correct articles stating its not in the public's interests.
