DWP latest on powers that will allow bank accounts to be 'monitored'
The DWP is set to be given new powers as part of its Fraud, Error and Recovery Bill which forms a central part of its plans to crackdown on benefit fraud Labour's new Fraud, Error and Debt Bill represents a key element of DWP strategies to tackle benefit fraud and will grant fresh powers to the department to seek information from claimants' bank accounts. The Fraud, Error and Recovery Bill has been confirmed to take effect from 2026, with the provisions being rolled out to safeguard a total of £1.5billion of taxpayers' money over the subsequent five years. The legislation is designed to target benefit fraudsters. The fresh powers have been brought in as part of a series of measures Labour claims will constitute the "biggest fraud crackdown in a generation." Further details have now been provided on the proposals for the DWP to monitor people's bank accounts closely, READ MORE: BT warning for anyone who still has UK landline in their home Under the changes, benefit cheats could face driving bans for periods of up to two years if they reject all chances to repay the money they owe. Currently under discussion in the House of Lords, additional details on how these powers will operate have been disclosed by Baroness Maeve Sherlock, a minister of state for the DWP. The primary power that will allow the DWP to request banks to share financial information with its agents is termed the Eligibility Verification Measure, reports the Liverpool Echo. The DWP will be able to collect information from additional third-party organisations such as airlines to verify if people are claiming benefits from abroad and potentially breaching eligibility rules. The financial department will not have direct access to the bank accounts of millions of people on means-tested benefits including Universal Credit, Pension Credit and Employment and Support Allowance. The Department for Work and Pensions will identify individuals who may have exceeded the eligibility criteria for means-tested benefits, such as the £16,000 income threshold for Universal Credit. If a person is identified, the department will then investigate that claimant to prevent possible overpayments and potential cases of fraud. The legislation only permits banks and other financial institutions to share limited data and excludes the sharing of transaction data. This means DWP will not be able to see what people are spending money on. A DWP factsheet states: "Any information shared through the Eligibility Verification Measure will not be shared on the presumption or suspicion that anyone is guilty of any offence. Banks and other financial institutions could receive a penalty for oversharing information, such as transaction information." Baroness Sherlock explains that the information the institution can be asked to share includes details about the account holder, including their name and date of birth. Agents can also request the bank account's sort code and account number, as well as details about how the account meets eligibility. Ministers claim the government is bringing in these powers to establish whether someone qualifies for a benefit they are receiving or have requested based on their financial circumstances. Baroness Sherlock said the measures will be rolled out over 12 months, using a "phased approach" and working with a limited number of banks at first. Drawing on its use by HMRC and the Child Maintenance Service, Baroness Sherlock says DWP anticipates it will issue between 5,000 and 20,000 Direct Deduction Orders annually. A DWP spokesperson told The Independent: "Our Fraud, Error and Recovery Bill includes an Eligibility Verification Measure which will require banks to share limited data on claimants who may wrongly be receiving benefits – such as those on Universal Credit with savings over £16,000. "As well as tackling fraud, the new powers will also help us find genuine claim errors sooner, stopping people building up unmanageable debt. This measure does not give DWP access to any benefit claimants' bank accounts."

Dramatic video shows officers rushing to 'targeted' quadruple Southwark stabbing
Two men - aged 58 and 27 - were killed in a lunchtime office knife rampage during what an MP has described as a 'targeted' attack that left four people injured in central London Dramatic footage shows police rushing to the scene of a quadruple stabbing that killed two people in what has been described as a "targeted" attack. Officers were called at 1pm on Monday after the knife-rampage at a business premises in central London. Video taken from opposite the building shows officers carrying first aid equipment dashing to treat the victims while two paramedics follow with a stretcher. A 58-year-old man died at the scene in Long Lane, close to London Bridge, and three others were rushed to hospital. They included a 27-year-old man who later died from his stab wounds. The Met Police said on Tuesday that at 31-year-old man from Hackney, east London, had been arrested on suspicion of murder. He remains in hospital. Another man in his thirties is also still being treated and his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening or life-changing. Dramatic video footage from the scene captures the scale of the massive police response, showing multiple cars rolling up to the London neighbourhood before multiple officers rush inside the building where the stabbings took place. The series of brief clips shows both police and ambulance vehicles lined down the leafy street while locals gather outside a police cordon. A number of officers can be seen standing guard outside. Speaking at the scene, Labour MP Neil Coyle, who represents the Bermondsey and Old Southwark constituency where the incident occurred, said: 'This was a targeted attack and there is no risk to the wider community. It's thought the individual worked for the business and were known to each other. I'll be sending letters to 1,000 constituents to reassure them. 'But we know this is a safe area and this was a targeted attack.' Mr Coyle said he did not know the motive for the attack. Asked if he had spoken to relatives of the victims, he said: 'No. The family have a lot to deal with'. He added that police and paramedics 'tried desperately' to save the lives of the victims. A neighbour who lives opposite where the attack took place watched the drama unfold from his window and said one victim was given CRP for "a long time" at the scene. The building is the headquarters to Prospira Global, a business consultancy firm specialising in mental health support, property investors Trademark Group and local residents. A resident who was working from home inside his flat yesterday said he heard someone scream 'Help me!'. Mario Sergio, 32, said: "We just looked out the window when we saw the police, we watched as they closed the road and were running into the building. Then they brought the guy out on the bed and I had to look away. They were working on him for a long time, hours it felt like." Another resident, who did not wish to be named, returned from work to find his building blocked off by police tape and a heavy police presence on the road. Det Chief Supt Emma Bond, who leads policing for the area, said: 'Our investigation is in the early stages and we are working hard to understand the full circumstances of this shocking incident. At this point, we do not believe it to be terrorism-related and there is no further risk to the public." Police forensics teams could be seen entering the building at the scene where the attack took place. A local described seeing blood on the floor and walls outside an office in the premises.

Southwark 'murder': Arrest made after two killed in quadruple London stabbing
A man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after two men were fatally stabbed at a business premises in central London. Emergency services were called to Long Lane in Southwark at about 1pm on Monday after reports of multiple stabbings inside a commercial property, where they found and treated four people for stab wounds. A 58-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene and three other men were taken to hospital, the Metropolitan Police said. A 27-year-old man later died in hospital, police said. On Tuesday, police said a 31-year-old man, who is a British citizen and was initially detained in connection with the incident, was arrested on Monday. He remains in hospital and his condition is not life-threatening, they added. Detective Chief Superintendent Emma Bond, who leads policing for the area, said: 'Our thoughts are first and foremost with the family and friends of the victims of this tragic incident. 'Our investigation continues at pace and we are working hard to understand the full circumstances. 'I understand there may be concern in the local community and there will be an increased police presence in the area over the coming days. 'I would also encourage anyone who may be worried to speak to an officer.' A crime scene remains in place and the investigation continues, the force added. Police reiterated that the incident took place inside a business premises, and that a crime scene is in place at a nearby hotel where the arrested man entered. Speculation that the man was staying at the hotel is not accurate, the force said. Anyone with information has been asked to call 101 or report it online. Local Labour MP Neil Coyle has visited the scene and said people in the area were "shocked" by incident. Coyle, who represents Bermondsey and Old Southwark told reporters outside the police cordon the incident was "truly awful". "It's absolutely devastating for the family and the local community," he said. "Thankfully, police say this was an isolated incident. "Police believe they have witnesses, but if anyone else saw anything, please contact the police and share any information you have. "Lots of people will be shaken. "People live right on top of this. It's an amazing community and it will be amazing tomorrow as people try and recover from the trauma they've seen."
