Re: Lie detectors to catch out benefit cheats
I don't think its legally binding, so it will probably mean that if you fail you'd be subjected to extra scrutiny. Says that here more-or-less:

Benefits staff are then able to ask for further evidence to support any suspicious claims.

The upside is that it filters out people quicker and allows them to target people they think is cheating (current methods like surveilance are too expensive and time-consuming). The downside is that a confidence trickster (the kind pf person that probably would be a benefit cheat) would be able subjected to less scrutiny because he would be able to deceive the machine.
