Just remember that you are probably thinking they are more interested in you than they actually are, it's the whole nature of the situation. I don't mean anything mean by that either by the way.

im going in for an interview- well she called it a statement, its not under caution. i think that comes next. im trying to keep my spirits up by thinking there are people out there who deliberately commit fraud and most of them avoid a prison sentence, if i have done fraud its been unknowingly. she told me someone had reported me and just wanted a statement and it was nothing to worry about- yeah right lol!! iv not eaten for days and started biting my nails which is something iv not done before. but im ok, i hope you are too hun :)

just out of interest, is it more serious if you get called in for a compliance interview than if you have a home visit compliance interview? i had a home visit back in 2010 for the same thing and she closed the case, this time iv got to go to the job center and see the same lady who came out.

No, it doesn't make any difference really. Sometimes Compliance want to visit you to check out your living arrangements, I guess, especially if they're making a token investigation into a "living with partner" allegation. If they really thought you'd done something criminal, it would be FIS (Fraud Investigation Service) and not Compliance who would be dealing with it, and they'd probably conduct any interview under caution.

 

Basically, you see Compliance when they're doing a random check on your claim (this does happen) or if they have received a suggestion that you're committing fraud but they aren't really taking it seriously. In some cases you might see them if they think your benefit is wrong but don't think there's any criminal fraud involved.

It is normally malicious.

 

Yes, it's depressingly common. I wonder how much time Compliance and FIS spend dealing with this nonsense.

Hi again. I feel that they shud take names of callers to stop wasteing there time and puttin fear into the inocent. Wen I tuk my compliance explanayion letter I asked why not take names. Man said we hav to take any calls. I feel they shud take names to put an end to these jelous people. I hav had a fair few aqusations from various organisations. And case always been closed. These people need to be caught. The root cause is there jelousy n they need help. I wish u well on your visit. If it was serious they wud hav f I s. As long as u no the truth. Keep me informed. Thanku. I jus feel it was a conformation my visit.

Totally agree Amanda, and what a waste of time it must be for them to keep following up on this rubbish and making people worry at the same time, if they made people give their name they still wouldnt have to share it with the person being investigated :mad2:

I agree snailz. It would be better if they had to give there name. And the compliance team don't have to tell us. It would then help milicious cases be traced. Try to think it will go well because ur not goin under caution and if your stil gettin ur benefits payments all must be ok. I supose its for them to be doing there jobs.
