Means testing in the UK determines eligibility for benefits, legal aid, or care support based on income and assets. A private investigator (PI) may be hired to verify or expose discrepancies in financial claims, often by conducting public records searches, surveillance, and social media monitoring. PIs look for hidden assets, undisclosed income, or fraudulent activity in cases involving welfare benefits, bankruptcy, or legal aid. They rely on legal methods, such as checking property ownership and interviewing witnesses, while adhering to privacy laws like the Data Protection Act 2018. Their role ensures accurate representation of an individual’s financial situation during means testing.
