A former University of Nottingham financial administrator has been jailed for falsely claiming at least £53,815 in benefits over nine years.
Denise Dobbs, from Long Eaton, earned more than £20,000 a year but was also receiving income support, housing and council tax benefits. She was jailed at Derby Crown Court for 10 months.
The court heard Dobbs began legitimately claiming benefits in 1995 but failed to report changes in her circumstances over the years. She began working at the University of Nottingham in 2006.
Judge Andrew Hamilton told her this was not a case of somebody on the poverty line, but deliberate dishonesty over nine years, which he described as "absolutely disgraceful".
