Benefit fraud went undetected for four years

Jayne Scanlan, from Anerley, has pleaded guilty to defrauding Bromley Council of £15,261 of housing and council tax benefits between August 2005 and August 2009.

Scanlan failed to declare her partner and son were working and living at the address and also a bank account with undeclared income in it.

She was given "a 12 month community order" (any work involved?) and a four month dusk to dawn curfew, with £125 costs.

That doesn't sound much.
