In a sign of its determination to eliminate benefit fraud, Knowsley Council has prosecuted Letitia Tuck from Huyton. While living with her employed partner, she had claimed Council Tax Benefit, Housing Benefit and Income Support on the basis that she was a lone parent.
This had gone undetected since 2002. In that time she got her hands on £81,459.
She got six months inside, so presumably she'll be out in three or four. Doubtless we've seen the last of the money.
Well done, rigorous Knowsley Council.
