Got to love what her legal rep has said.
"Julian Farley, defending, told Macclesfield magistrates court “She would have actually saved the government money if she had continued the fraud. It is the most ridiculous mitigation I have put forward in a court.”

still a benefit cheat.
You could be buying Andyw's mum frilly undies on the company.
HMRC could investigate you and find you are fraudulently claiming for 'professional services and work attire' but highlight an allowance for medical care that you may use.
You will still get fined for frillies and sent to prison.
Its a pity the benefits system is so complicated, this girl was probably just scared that her benefits would never restart.

What's the Opposite of a Benefit Cheat?
Officials who caught benefits cheat found she was entitled to more than she stole - Manchester Evening News
when officials reassessed her case, they found that she should have been claiming child benefits and tax credits of £130 a week.
That was £64 MORE than the £66 a week she was actually getting through her fraud.Tags: None
