Karen Bass, from Cheadle Hulme, has admitted failing to declare income from working, thereby obtaining benefits of £6,821 fraudulently from Stockport Council.
Miss Bass was given a three year conditional discharge and ordered to pay £50 costs.
The theft of public money was discovered by Stockport Council’s Benefit processing staff who discovered discrepancies on the claim, which was investigated by the Council’s Counter Fraud Investigation Team.
The overpayments of, Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit are to be repaid and are separate from the court action.
It makes you wonder why they bothered with the court.
