Glenna Medhurst, from Grays, pleaded guilty to obtaining £24,895 in benefits by failing to declare that she was living with her partner and that he was working. She was sentenced to 51 weeks imprisonment on each of the ten counts (concurrently) suspended for one year. She was also ordered to do 200 hours unpaid work and pay £500 costs. She is to repay the fraudulent benefits.
But no immediate prison for such a big fraud.
Enita Chiwara, also from Grays, admitted fraudulently obtaining benefit by failing to declare that she was working (an overpayment of £5,448). She was sentenced to 80 hours unpaid work to be completed in a year and has to repay the benefit.
