Local Authority Prosecutions

BSB_JPerugia-2592.jpg
Whether you are accused of receiving benefits dishonestly, or defrauding the local authority of housing or council tax benefit we can help.
  • We deal with allegations made by the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), Job Centres (JCP), Local Councils, or HMRC, relating to benefits that allegedly have been 'overpaid'.
  • Our team can liaise with the JCP or the Local Authority prior to any formal interview or investigation and help secure a positive outcome, avoiding prosecution in many cases.
  • If you are summonsed to appear at court, we can defend you, either by helping you fight the allegations or negotiating a settlement for you.
  • We work closely with Welfare Benefit Experts and Forensic Accountants who can scrutinize whether or not the amounts you are said to have been 'overpaid' are accurate.
