Debbie Abrahams MP, Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, commenting on the news that mistakes in benefits claims could cost the taxpayer up to £500m, said:
“This is yet another example of the total failure of this Government to provide people with the support they need.
"From the chaotic introduction of Universal Credit to the quiet pushing back of the state pension age of 1950s women, it’s been one disaster after another from the Department of Work and Pensions.
"The Government must act immediately to provide the support people are entitled to and apologise to all the people who have struggled to heat their homes and put food on their table.”
