Donna Harris-Morris has been ordered to carry out a supervised 12 month Community Order for fraudulently claiming benefits totalling £3,651 between October 2008 and May 2009.
Mrs Harris-Morris claimed Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit in September 2008 on the basis she lived alone and was working part time. But a data match identified that shehad failed to declare she was receiving Tax Credits.
She had also failed to declare that her partner had moved in to live with her in October 2008 and that she had changed employment, with an increase in work hours and pay.
Magistrates decided she should also repay all of the fraudulently claimed benefit through a compensation order as well as £150 towards the prosecution costs.
