A woman from Westbourne who falsely claimed £34,253 in benefits has been sent to prison. Gina McQueen had failed to report that she had a partner living with her who was working.
She had continued to claim as a lone parent with three children and did not tell Chichester District Council or the DWP of the change in her living arrangements.
She was overpaid income support, housing benefit and council tax benefit for almost three years from November, 2005.
McQueen was sentenced to 20 weeks in prison at Chichester Crown Court.
