DWP worker's partner was benefit thief

Clive Russell, from Lancing, who fraudulently claimed £17,679 between April 2007 and June 2009, has been ordered to do 120 hours of community service and banned from going out in the evening.

Russell owned up to lying on his claim forms and not telling the council he was living with a partner. During investigation council officers discovered that his partner, a DWP employee, had told her bosses that she had moved in with Russell in 2006.
