DWP favour to ID fraudsters

At a time when the Government is encouoraging people to take care over their personal data due to identity fraud, the Deparment for Work and Pensions has done its best to help out fraudsters by sending 26’000 letters containing personal and bank account details to the wrong addresses.

The DWP has said it launched an investigation as soon as it found out about the problem. Not really going to help all those whos details have been sent to the wrong house. The problem is made worse by the fact it is pensioners details, a group who are more vunerable than most.

The problem occurred because two letters were put into the same envelope, throwing the whole process out. The simple solution to ensure this problem doesn’t happen again? Use windowed envelopes!
