£11k benefit fraud in Kent

A woman who fraudulently obtained more than £11,000 in benefits over a nine-month period has been given a 12-month community order.

Danielle Antoniou, formerly Elliott, from Sittingbourne, was sentenced to 60 hours of unpaid work and ordered to pay £50 costs after pleading guilty.

The court heard how the 23-year-old failed to notify the DWP and Swale council that she was living as husband and wife with Mark Johnson.
