The FUT Case Officer works closely with the case officers who investigate the right to financial assistance, providing consultations, guidance, and information to the area's units.

Your responsibilities include investigating whether incorrect payments have occurred, deciding on recovery claims, and, if necessary, reporting suspected benefit fraud to the police.
