Louise Stuart, 60岁,来自Maryport的一位前护理工作者,被承认在八年内非法索要85 854英镑的福利,因为她没有报告她与伙伴Russel Harrison的关系,Russel Harrison也被判犯有欺诈罪。 Louise Stuart, 60, a former care worker from Maryport, admitted to illegally claiming £85,854 in benefits over eight years by not reporting her relationship with partner Russel Harrison, who was also convicted of fraud. DWP发现她与他住在一起,分享了假日照片,并谎称单身无收入,使她能够领取就业支助津贴和住房津贴。 The DWP found she lived with him, shared holiday photos, and falsely claimed to be single and without income, enabling her to receive Employment Support Allowance and housing benefit. 尽管她列举了包括创伤后精神紧张症和抑郁症在内的经济困难和心理健康斗争,但法官中止了11个月的监禁,因为她有康复的前景,而且偿还债务不切实际(估计为141年,每月50英镑),再加上监禁费用高昂。 Though she cited financial hardship and mental health struggles including PTSD and depression, the judge suspended her 11-month jail sentence due to her rehabilitation prospects and the impracticality of repaying the debt—estimated at 141 years at £50 monthly—along with the high cost of incarceration. 她得到为期18个月的宵禁,法院倒闭后允许她返回家园。 She was given an 18-month curfew and allowed to return home after collapsing in court.
