Fraud and credit files

I had a letter from my old employer telling me that a HR employee had defrauded some people by taking personal details such as name, address, NI and bank details to falsely claim maternity pay in our names. The DWP is aware and the person has been prosecuted. The company has gave reassurances that everything is ok now and that its all been tidied up. I don't really feel reassured as I just found out today and this occurred in 2013.

Aside from checking my credit file and speaking to the DWP to check this hasn't affected my NI contributions is there anything else I should check?

I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right area. There's no forum for victims of work place fraud!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you make.
