WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I AM ARRESTED OR CHARGED FOR BENEFIT FRAUD?

Benefit fraud is a concern for many, with the Department for Work and Pensions estimating around £6.3 billion in fraud or error payments in the 2019/2020 period alone. If you’ve been arrested or charged with benefit fraud, know that getting help from a solicitor as early as possible can make a significant difference in your case. This article is designed to answer some of the most pressing questions you might have. We’ll discuss whether you need a solicitor for benefit fraud, explore possible defences, and consider whether you could be granted bail.

Do I need a solicitor for benefit fraud?

Facing allegations of benefit fraud can be an overwhelming and distressing experience. You might be wondering whether it’s necessary to hire a solicitor to help you through this challenging time. The short answer is yes.

Benefit fraud is taken very seriously in the UK. The consequences can range from fines and benefit repayments to criminal charges, which could result in a community order or even imprisonment if the fraud is particularly severe. The complexity of benefit fraud cases should also not be underestimated. The DWP, along with other agencies, conducts thorough investigations. If you are accused of benefit fraud, you will likely be interviewed under caution, and the evidence against you can be extensive, including financial records and surveillance.

A criminal defence solicitor can provide invaluable assistance throughout this complex process in several ways:

• Legal Guidance: Understanding the charges against you and the potential consequences can be complicated. A solicitor can explain the law in clear terms, helping you to understand your situation and the possible outcomes.
• Representation: Whether you need to attend an interview under caution, a magistrates’ court hearing, or a Crown Court trial, having professional representation is crucial. A solicitor will speak on your behalf, ensuring that your rights are protected and presenting your case in the best possible light.
• Case Preparation: A solicitor can help gather evidence to support your defence, identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, and prepare rebuttals to any arguments or allegations that may arise during a trial

What are possible defences for benefit fraud?

Common arguments that a criminal defence solicitor might use to contest benefit fraud charges include:

• Lack of Intent: One of the key elements in proving benefit fraud is demonstrating that the accused intended to deceive. If you did not knowingly or deliberately provide false information, your solicitor may argue there was no intent to commit fraud. This could apply if you made an honest mistake due to misunderstanding the complex rules governing benefit claims.
• Mistake or Error: Sometimes, errors can occur without any intentional wrongdoing. If you filled out a benefits form incorrectly or failed to report a change in your circumstances by mistake, this might be used as a defence. Your solicitor can present evidence to show that the error was unintentional.
• No Overpayment: To prove benefit fraud, it must be shown that you received payments you were not entitled to. If your solicitor can demonstrate that there was no financial gain or that any overpayment was a result of administrative errors rather than deceit, this could serve as a defence.
• Duress: In rare cases, an individual may commit benefit fraud under threat or coercion. If someone forced or intimidated you into providing false information, your solicitor might argue that you acted under duress, thereby lacking the necessary intent to commit fraud.
• Insufficient Evidence: For a conviction, the prosecution must provide compelling evidence that proves your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Your solicitor will scrutinise the evidence against you and may argue that it is insufficient or unreliable.

Will I get bail for benefit fraud?

First and foremost, the court will evaluate the severity of the offence. Benefit fraud cases can vary significantly in terms of the amount of money involved and the complexity of the fraud. A more serious or complex case may lead the court to believe that you might abscond or not return for your trial, which could impact the likelihood of being granted bail.

Another major consideration is your personal circumstances. The court will assess factors such as:

• Criminal Record: If you have previous convictions, especially for similar offences, this might weigh against the possibility of receiving bail.
• Ties to the Community: Strong family ties, employment, or other stable connections to your local community may indicate to the court that you are less likely to abscond.
• Risk of Reoffending: The court will consider whether there is a likelihood that you might commit further offences if bailed.
• Previous Court Appearances: If you have a history of attending court when required, this could positively influence the court’s decision.

In some cases, the court might impose certain conditions if bail is granted. These conditions can include:

• Surrendering your passport to prevent you from leaving the country
• Reporting regularly to a local police station
• Complying with a curfew or other restrictions on your movement

Will I have to go to court if I’m arrested or charged for benefit fraud?

Initially, if you are suspected of benefit fraud, you will likely receive a letter from the DWP, or the local council if the alleged offence involves housing benefits. This letter will probably invite you for an interview under caution. You should seek legal advice before attending this interview, as anything you say can be used as evidence against you.

The possible outcomes after this interview include:

• The case being dropped due to insufficient evidence
• An administrative penalty, where you agree to pay back the overpaid benefits and additional fines without the need to go to court
• Being issued a formal caution, which is a written warning that remains on your record but does not amount to a criminal conviction
• Being prosecuted, which means you will have to appear in court

If the case goes to court, it could be heard in either the Magistrates’ Court or the Crown Court, depending on the seriousness of the offence. Cases involving smaller amounts of money or first-time offenders are typically dealt with in the Magistrates’ Court. More severe cases, involving larger sums or repeat offences, may be referred to the Crown Court.

Will I go to jail if found guilty of benefit fraud?

The likelihood of a jail sentence depends on several factors that will be considered by the judge in sentencing if you are found guilty:

1. Severity of the Fraud: The amount of money fraudulently obtained plays a significant role. Larger sums of money tend to result in harsher penalties, including the possibility of imprisonment.
2. Intent: The court will examine whether there was a deliberate intention to deceive the authorities. Proving deceit or intentional dishonesty can lead to more severe consequences.
3. Duration of the Fraud: If the fraudulent activity occurred over a prolonged period, it might result in a stronger sentence.
4. Previous Offences: A history of similar offences can influence the court’s decision, potentially leading to a stricter penalty.
5. Impact on Others: The nature of the fraud and its effect on others can also be considered. For example, if your actions resulted in significant harm or disadvantage to others who are genuinely in need, this may affect sentencing.

Will I go to jail if it’s my first offence of benefit fraud?

Not everyone who is found guilty of benefit fraud goes to jail, and this is especially the case for first time offenders. The court considers the fact that it is your first offence as a mitigating factor, which means that it may lead to a less severe sentence. Numerous other factors are considered and, arguably, are more pressing in sentencing.

Can I get Legal Aid for benefit fraud?

Legal Aid is a government-funded scheme designed to help those who cannot afford to pay for legal representation. It is intended to ensure that everyone has access to justice, regardless of their financial situation. To be eligible for Legal Aid, you must pass both a means test and a merits test.

• The means test assesses your financial situation. This includes your income, savings, and certain outgoings. If your financial resources are below a specific threshold, you may qualify for Legal Aid. If you receive certain benefits, such as Income Support, Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, Income-based Employment and Support Allowance, or Universal Credit, you may automatically pass the means test.
• The merits test assesses whether it is in the interests of justice to provide Legal Aid for your case. This takes into account factors such as:
  • The seriousness of the allegation
  • The complexity of the case
  • The potential consequences if found guilty
  • Your ability to understand and participate in proceedings without legal representation

One of the things I’ve appreciated most is their exceptional communication. In fact, they take the time to explain the difficult legal points in a way that I could understand, despite their technicalities, thus I was never in the dark about what was going on. This was even more beneficial when dealing with complex transactions, which required a high level of clearness. Their commitment to updating me on every step along the way of the lawsuit indeed brought some peace of mind.

MD.Abdul Mannan

I have had the pleasure of working with Stuart Miller Solicitors on several occasions over the years, and each experience has been outstanding. Their team is made up of highly skilled and experienced criminal justice attorneys who have a deep understanding of the law. A big differentiating factor is their degree of handiness in dealing with such pressing cases, thus, readily offering direction even when the issues are hard to crack.

When you have to look for a solicitor it’s usually because you’ve found yourself in less than pleasant circumstances. That was absolutely the case for me when I reached out to Stuart Miller Solicitors.I was dealing with a matter that had transpired over two years ago and was receiving repetitive communications and misdirections from police. However, that all ended when I was represented by Stuart Miller Solicitors.They were so helpful at every stage, but especially Scarlett Rowe, who simply was exceptional.Scarlett went above and beyond what I sense my case even required. She submitted disclosures and communications to CPS in a manner and at junctures where it would be most impactful and therefore critical to a good outcome. And that’s exactly what I got—nothing short of a good outcome.

16:59 11 Jul 24

What can I say! When no one else would listen to me or give me the benefit of the doubt in a completely nonsensical case, Mohammed Zeb and Nick James were my knights in shining armor. Mohammed Zeb believed in my innocence, and Nick, along with the rest of the Stuart Miller team, upheld my integrity while tirelessly fighting my case day and night. Their commitment, dedication, and unwavering support were crucial when everyone else thought I was headed for a prison sentence. After three and a half years, when the Crown finally brought us to trial, they not only won but did so unanimously.We all see shows like "Suits" and "Better Call Saul," but if you want to get your life back, there's only one place for all criminal cases: Stuart Miller. They particularly excel at police custody representation. When you're in a tough situation, there's only one team you need—Stuart Miller. Thank you all for giving me my life back!

11:59 25 Jun 24

Amazing lawyer firm. After being represented by Amirah K. we were able to have our case dropped within 5 months when original estimates had been 2 years!! Most firms said they would do nothing and that we should just do legal aid. Stuart Miller said “No” and instead seeked to represent us, they chased the OIC and went far and beyond.If you need a lawyer, don’t waste time on these other smaller firms that promise nothing but scary maybes and demand thousands in return. Go with Stuart Miller, it’ll be the best decision you ever made.

Rafaela Sakaj

11:42 13 Jun 24

We found this place on the last minute and we did not expect that the problem will be resolved.Was a complicated matter and we wouldn’t trust to everyone but Abu Kibla with his professional experience made it so calm and easy for us. We cannot thank him enough for being able to resolve our case with the best outcome ever. We will definitely recommend Abu to any friends or relatives. Once again thank you for the bottom of the heart.

I have unfortunately found myself in a position to be needing legal advice and representation in court. This company has been professional and efficient from start to finish. Excellent communication and advice from Kelly and representation from Robert in court. They were both amazing and explained every step of the process and calmed me down and also managed to get the unfounded charges dropped. I can’t recommend them enough. They absolutely take your case personally and try their hardest for you every step of the way.

Thank you so much to Mohammed Zeb And Sophie. We was supported in all steps along the way of my little sister’s case. They made us extremely comfortable and sufficiently advised us in every aspect. All of our questions were answered in detail and all information we needed was clearly outlined to us. With the prosecution pushing for jail time, Mr Zeb was able to quickly diffuse the situation in court and get an outcome for us that was much less detrimental. We are so happy that we chose to go with this firm and would recommend Stuart Miller to any and everyone. Thank you again to Mr Zeb and Sophie for all your support, we will never forget it.

Ayesha Akbar

20:24 06 Mar 24

We had an issue with the police raising an incorrect safeguarding issue against our daughter because we used a Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) which they disagreed with (wet cupping therapy). The police wanted us to sign a community resolution order admitting that we assaulted our child! We spoke to Mohammed Zeb who swiftly acted to contact experts in our field and his field, along with experts in social services matters and gave us recommendations to challenge the police. Their weak case quickly dissolved into no further action when the police realised that we would not accept a resolution order claiming we assaulted our child.I would strongly recommend Mr Zeb to all and would use nobody but them in the future.

Stuart Millers were great at dealing with a tricky case and managed to get a great outcome. From the first meeting and hearing, Abu Kibla was friendly, knowledgable and very helpful and you can see a genuine care for his clients. Luke Collins did the day to day and was great at preparing clear written representations and dealing with the CPS. Kathleen Joyce attended the final hearing and despite a last minute time change by the court the day before, she was well prepared, presented the case and mitigation arguments perfectly and was very reassuring and comforting throughout the whole day. Professional, responsive and reasonable fees. Would definitely recommend the firm.

Unfortunately I got myself into abit of trouble and didn't have a solicitor at the time. When I was in the police station I was asked if I wanted a solicitor and I said yes and I was then put in a cell till I was interviewed. Officer come to my cell to take me to my interview and asked if I wanted to consult with my solicitor I said yes, when we got to the Consultation room Mr Zeb was waiting for me and he ensured me that everything was going to be okay and this case will be solved with no problems at all and he was right I got NFA and the case was dropped that's all thanks to Mr Zeb he was very professional in this field and was intouch with me and kept me updated with everything that was going on. I will definitely use this firm again in future.

Clare Peters

20:48 06 Feb 24

Words can not do justice to Stuart Miller Solicitors. I am forever grateful to Mohammad Zeb and Savannah who came to me like angels along with their appointed barrister Harry Mcdonald when my son was on trial. With my son having three charges against him along with joint enterprise which included affray and violent disorder. They took the case on and from the very 1st day kept me updated with the progress and supported me throughout the case. With my son in remand and a serious injury to his face they kept him motivated and in the right frame of mind with video links. Also they were available to him even on weekends if he had any questions. Their guidance and professionalism was absolutely outstanding. Savannah was superb throughout this case. Her approach to everything made it easy for me and my family. The barrister Harry took the case on at short notice and what a outstanding approach he had. Being in court for the 1st time for my son he represented my son superbly. After arguing his defence for my son for 7 gruelling days my son was found not guilty of all charges. I can not praise Stuart Miller enough. A must go to firm if you are in a unfortunate situation and need legal help. Wish Mohammad Zeb, Savannah, Harry Mcdonald and everyone at Stuart Miller the very best for the future. A very big thank you from me and my family.

When I called for help, straight away, they pick up the call. Spoken to me with respect and followed up with an email of instructions, which is a massive relief.

I would like to thank the team at Stuart Miller for helping me with my case, especially Kate andTasnuva, they both were dealing with my case and helped be through it and i am very happy with the outcome. also there price for fighting on my behalf was reasonable compared to another company who were charging extortion money for first consulation.

Stuart Miller Solicitors are nothing short of miracle workers! When faced with serious charges, I felt lost and overwhelmed. But from day one, they assured me and proved their dedication by being accessible 24/7. They managed to get me out of troubles and gave me a second chance in life.
