She still has to repay the money and she won't be getting her JP job back - and her DLA/PIP has been withdrawn.

To defraud DWP is bad, to defraud them when you are a public figure and running a business is stupid.

Happens on an almost daily basis. I have a neighbour who keeps a pair of crutches for when she goes for an assessment. Other times she is a dog walker, climbs ladders to cut hedges etc. etc.

Crikey. It took two hours for the jury to deliberate!!

[youngmafbog]

Grass your neighbour up then Maggie - there is a hotline to do it. Have used it a few times.

Yes, 10 years would have been a good deterrent for other.

i know of a guy who had a balloon in his trousers when he was being interviewed for benefits. He pierced it - water run down his trousers - said he wet himself with nerves - interviewer gave him the money for taxi home??????

[emmie]

JJ that;s appalling.

[jennyjoan]

could write a book or best seller on the ways and means of getting benefits - incredible -

[emmie]

whilst i am and indeed others i know are struggling with the DWP. Crikey what is the world coming to.

[jennyjoan]

how about a mother swapping her healthy daughter with a friend's daughter who suffered with chronic asthma and got the benefit.

they came out to home then too Emmie - I have been reading your posts re getting somebody to come out to you - please fight for that right.

[emmie]

JJ thanks i will, its the other thing i can do.

Blimey what a truly horrid woman !

[cassa333]

If I had a neighbour like that Maggiebee I would film them and send it to the DWP or benefits office and let nature take its course.

In any case this woman was a JP. Should they go back and look at her cases to see if she had tried any cases that she may have been biased or something?

Those were my immediate thoughts.No doubt a few miscarriages of justice were perpetrated along the way. Purely for friends and family you understand.

disgusting from someone in position of trust. How she became a JP I don't know, perhaps the system needs looking at. Yes SK, deserves 10 in the slammer, a chance to renew acquaintance with old customers perhaps!
