As someone in receipt of ESA (income related) and PIP (no other income) for anxiety and depression, Labour's Fraud, Error and Debt Bill is causing me considerable anxiety.
I sometimes purchase commodities via online transactions, and there are times when I pay into my account money that I have previously withdrawn from my benefits that have been paid into my bank account, as I sometimes don't end up spending what I intended to.
Amounts I have put back into my account have ranged between £20 and £200, although my account balance has never risen beyond £800 during my time on benefits.
The combination of online purchases, and putting (my own) money back into my account has rendered me fearful that I may become one of those who fall under the surveillance of Labour's plan to check bank accounts of benefit claimants.
Can anyone allay my fears?
Kind regards.
