Subject: Official Information request - Treatment of cases of pension fraud

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

Can you please provide information on the number of pension fraud cases have been identified in each of the last ten years?

Can you please also provide information on the treatment of the persons identified as having committed pension fraud? How many were prosecuted? How many were let off with nothing more than being requested to repay the amount that had been fraudulently claimed?

Yours faithfully,

B McRobie
