Hi Anisty
And the following is the response from Welfare Advice Charity Rightsnet--
Almost 6,000 DWP staff are now involved in ‘targeted case review’ activity which has helped identify more than £1bn of incorrect universal credit payments in the last three years

Almost 6,000 DWP staff are now involved in 'targeted case review' activity and have saved more than £1 billion of incorrect universal credit payments, according to DWP statistics.
New management information published today highlights that, since their introduction in 2022, targeted case reviews have saved £1.168 billion of incorrect universal credit payments, with most of the savings (£901 million) coming from 2024/2025, reflecting the government's decision to nearly double the number of people working in the review team since July 2024.
