How can I report suspected council tax benefit fraud?
The council is committed to ensuring that people receive their correct entitlement to council tax benefit and every effort will be made to deal with claims as quickly as possible. However, it is important that people who are claiming benefit to which they are not entitled are reported to the Benefits Service so that the appropriate action can be taken against them. If you are aware of, or think that somebody may be claiming benefit fraudulently, you can contact us on the Benefit Fraud Hotline 0800 328 6340, which is a 24-hour freephone service. Any information provided will be treated in confidence. If you believe people are receiving a discount off their council tax bill, which they are not entitled to, please report this on 0161 909 6502, alternatively please email revenues@salford.gov.uk.
