Crackdown on UK benefit cheats who live abroad: "crackdown has been launched by the government on UK benefit cheats who live abroad.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has joined forces with overseas counterparts to target the countries where the most cases take place.
The DWP said the highest instances of fraud was recorded by people living in Spain, Pakistan, the US and Bangladesh.
Scams include people not declaring they have moved abroad or claiming for relatives who have died.
Others examples were of people working while abroad, having unreported assets such as property, savings or even yachts, or exaggerating a level of disability.
Claimants are told to notify the DWP if they go abroad as it could affect entitlement to benefits."
