A Leicester couple was sentenced to 16 months imprisonment after conning the benefits system out of £57,960.
Mrs Ameena Iqbal falsely claimed benefit as an unemployed single parent, despite the fact that her husband, Mr Aslam Iqbal, 33, had been living with her for over four years.
Not only had they been living together, but Mr Iqbal was working and had purchased their home, meaning that they were no longer liable to pay rent. Had these changes been declared, no Income Support, Housing Benefit or Council Tax benefit would have been paid.
