    If someone is reported to welfare they cannot get the name of the person who treported them even with FOI as far as i know. Could they get it through the courts.

    I am not looking for advice It is nothing to do with me i am curious about something i heard

    I'd imagine the first person named as a whistleblower would bring an immediate and 100% stop to reporting by people.

    You can report welfare fraud anonymously.

    You are confusing an anonymous complaint with a confidential complaint.

    Fraud reports are never kept on a persons DSP file after the fraud has been investigated. Even when investigated, if fraud has been established, the fraud report is removed from the file (as it is not used as evidence).
