Jacqueline South, who defrauded Lewisham Council out of £30,120 over an 18-month period, has been sentenced to eight months in prison.
Her deception was uncovered as part of a regular data-matching exercise carried out by the council. It checks details of benefit claimants against payroll details of large organisations or those claiming student loans.
South’s national insurance number and date of birth details matched that of someone called Jacqui South, who was working as a telephonist at the time.
