Edward Jeffers from Nechells failed to declare that he had been in paid employment for a number of years. He pleaded guilty to making fraudulent housing and council tax benefit claims worth £14,817 over a six-year period. Jeffers’ four month prison sentence was suspended for 12 months and he was ordered to do 200 hours’ unpaid work and pay £250 towards the council’s court costs. He was also told to repay the money he fraudulently claimed. Failure to do so will result in civil proceedings being taken against him.
Meanwhile in Luton benefit thief Abdul Munim Mojnu has been convicted of fraudulently receiving £1,418 in benefits, which he will now have to repay to the Council. For this relatively small amount he received a 12 month Community Order with 100 hours unpaid work and was ordered to pay £110 towards the Council’s costs.
