Military veterans dept to clamp down on education benefit fraud
11 January 2017
Cape Town - The Department of Military Veterans will be clamping down on fraudulent educational support claims, it said on Wednesday.
This included inflated tuition invoices and beneficiaries receiving the support illegally, acting director general Max Ozinsky told media during a briefing on Wednesday.
That was one of the challenges facing the department and it was being addressed, he said.
"We have noted that, as we have provided the educational support, there are those who are trying to abuse and defraud the system by inflating tuition and other things," he said.
