I wonder who decided this was permissable as HMRC has always had a policy of not divulging information even to other Civil Service departments. You will probably recognise, Stanaccy, that Fraud Hotline information is passed from DWP to HMRC but not the other way round. If permission was sought and granted it must have come from a very senior source. The "junior" staff member is a scapegoat.

OK I'll take it as FTC then. Yes I agree that the AO or AA is going to be a scapegoat however how the hell were they allowed to download the full register of CB claims???? That for me beggars belief. Not even SEOs in our dept are allowed to do that.
