This woman has been told to repay the benefit she fraudulently obtained. How long would that take? What additional punishment has she had? If this had been dealt with administratively there would have been a 30% penalty.
Susan Adams, from Haydock, was found guilty of four offences of failing to tell the authorities that her circumstances had changed, which she knew would affect her entitlement to Housing and Council Tax Benefit.
She had claimed £3519 that she wasn’t entitled to and was handed a £60 fine and ordered to pay a £15 Victim Surcharge and £40 in legal costs.
