Joachim Kawesa, from Lambeth, who lied about his earnings to claim £17,888 in housing and council tax benefit he was not entitled to, has been jailed for eight months, reports the South London Press.
Lambeth council and the DWP brought successful prosecutions against two other benefit fraudsters in December.
Helen Koroma, from Stockwell, admitted four counts of being knowingly concerned in fraudulent activity with a view to obtain tax credits worth £56,000 and was oddly just given a suspended prison sentence.
Julie Kenna, from Brixton, admitted obtaining a money transfer by deception, failing to notify a change in circumstances and three counts of making false statements to obtain £43,000 in benefits. But she too just received a suspended prison sentence. What's the point?
