Benefits frauds in Littlehampton

THE biggest benefit cheat in Arun's history is facing prison for falsely claiming £93,591 over the past decade. Sentencing is due at Crown Court.

Susan Ellis used fake rent books and tenancy agreements to disguise the fact that the owner of the property where she lives was her partner and the father of her children, and gave false information on claims forms.

Another Littlehampton woman is also due to be sentenced, after falsely claiming more than £26,000 in housing benefits. Karen Johnson was charged with submitting a false claim form in which she failed to declare that the landlord of her property is related to at least one of her children.
