DWP’s New Powers to Claw Back Benefit Debts
Description
The UK’s Department for Work and Pensions is unleashing new, aggressive tactics to recover billions in benefit debts — starting Wednesday, they can directly seize money from your bank account without a court order. For those who owe over a thousand pounds and don’t need their car for work, they may even strip your license. While the government claims this protects taxpayers from deliberate dodgers, critics warn it could hurt vulnerable groups — especially disabled people — as welfare spending soars toward 400 billion by 2030.
