Fraud is totally unacceptable, and were taking action on multiple fronts to crack down on anyone who has sought to exploit our schemes and bring them to justice.

Rigorous checks were put in place to prevent fraud when these schemes were launched, and we are taking action to make sure that money stolen from the taxpayer is reclaimed.
