A 35-year-old St Clears man has been prosecuted for falsely claiming £2,640 in housing benefit.
Christopher Weeks pleaded guilty to failing to declare a change in circumstances. He had claimed housing benefit with his partner and children at a rented property near St Clears, from November 2008.
In September 2009, Carmarthenshire County Council began an investigation into his claim for housing benefit. It was established that Weeks had vacated the property in March 2009 and had since moved to Bridgend.
He was fined £115 and ordered to pay £307 costs. He will also have to repay all of the overpaid benefit.
