Between April 2008 and February 2009 Marilyn Braidwood, from Chapel-en-le-Frith, falsely claimed housing benefit, council tax benefit and income support totalling £6,371 after failing to reveal that her husband had returned to live with her.
Representing herself in court, Braidwood said: "My teenage daughter went off the rails a bit and we decided it would be a good idea if my husband came back to the family home."
Magistrates gave her a six month community order with a four month curfew between the hours of 7pm and 7am.
She must also pay costs of £400. No order was made for compensation as Braidwood has already started paying the money back.
