Yvonne Gray, 28, from Aberdeen, who wrongfully claimed £19,751 in benefits over five years. could spend more than 80 years paying the money back.
The court heard she was paying the sum back at a rate of £20 a month, which would take her almost 82 years to pay in full. She has made four repayments so far.
She had previously admitted failing to tell the DWP that her circumstances had changed and she was living with her partner.
Sheriff Colin Harris ordered Gray to continue making the payments and deferred sentence for 12 months for her to be of good behaviour.
