Wootton Bassett benefit cheat jailed

Deborah Church, from Wootton Bassett, who has a long history of deception, has been jailed for 21 months after a judge heard how she falsely claimed as much as £60,000 in benefits.

She claimed she was a single mother for about a decade. But in reality she was living with the father of her children who was running a business as a builder. When the relationship collapsed into acrimony he tipped off the DWP after discovering she had been claiming.
