Yes, I can confirm what bro has advised.

I had a Customer Compliance Officer (CCO) visit me at home a few months ago.

Apparently, a neighbour <sic> had contacted the DWP telling them that I was renovating my flat and had been seen carrying bags of sand and cement, despite being a wheelchair user.

The CCO visited me, and noted that my flat was only 15 years old, and was rented privately, so any work necessary was my landlord's responsibility not mine.

THE CCO was very pleasant and advised me me that around 95% of calls to the DWP fraudline were without any foundation, usually from family, friends etc who had a grudge against the claimant for some reason.

No changes were made to my indefinite DLA awards.
