A woman has been sentenced to three months imprisonment, suspended for twelve months, with an order to carry out 200 hours unpaid community work, for making false housing benefit claims on a property in Castle Vale totalling £5,947.
She told the Council she was paying child care costs to a registered child minder and these payments were then ignored for benefit purposes. However, investigators revealed that these child minder costs had stopped in 2003.
How many people are the Council making similar allowances to? How many can they possibly check?
