So could many Government policies or initiatives, yet there’s little clamour from the right wing press for many of those.
The Department for Work and Pensions pays out around £327bn a year in benefits and pensions. By my measure they could therefore give less than an extra 2 pence in every pound to claimants if they reduced fraud and error to zero (an absolutely unachievable aim).
With the best will in the world, it’s not going to pay the gas bill.

What's your solution to stopping people exploiting the system?

I’m not here to put one forward, but every benefit claimant facing a real terms cut is not the answer. Doing literally nothing equal to or better than your proposal both functionally and morally.
