Andrea Short, from Lancing, falsely claimed £7,967 from Adur District Council. Between September, 2006, and September, 2009, she had failed to disclose an occupational pension and a second bank account.
She was sentenced to a 12-month order, including a three-month electronically tagged curfew from 6pm to 6am, and ordered to pay £651 in prosecution costs.
Stuart Norris, from Hove, falsely claimed £9,725 from Adur District Council. Norris, who lived in Shoreham, at the time, had pleaded guilty to falsely producing a document to claim benefits at an earlier hearing.
Between July, 2008, and June, 2009, Norris had signed a housing and council tax benefit claim submitted by his wife, but failed to tell her or Adur District Council about three flats he owned in Crewe, Cheshire. (How likely is it that she would have had no idea about that?)
Norris was sentenced to a 12-month order, including 300 hours of unpaid work, and ordered to pay prosecution costs of £713.50.
