Tracy Lally from Colne, who cheated the state out of benefits totalling £8,257, has been placed under curfew. She had claimed income support for herself and her children since 1998, but her partner, who had occasional work, had moved into her home in August 2007, making her original claim invalid. Magistrates gave her an eight week curfew, between Sundays and Fridays, between 8pm and 7am, and ordered her to pay £75 costs. Mr Benson has now lost his employment and claims benefits on behalf of the family as a whole.
Diane Warner, from Wendover, received a benefit overpayment of £5,342 after failing to declare she was in employment. She was sentenced to a two year conditional discharge.
James Byrne, also of Wendover, failed to disclose that he had savings in excess of the £16,000 capital limit for claiming means tested benefits and was overpaid £4,427 in benefits. He was fined £495 and ordered to pay prosecution costs of £100.
