Benefits fraudster to be sentenced in May

A benefits cheat who wrongly claimed almost £18,000 will be sentenced in May.

Kathryne Marie Hill of Marashen Crescent in Port Erin appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.

The 27 year old pleaded guilty to four counts of making false representations to obtain benefits between October 2020 and October last year.

Prosecutor James Robinson told the hearing Hill’s claim had been fraudulent from the outset and she’d netted £17,830.

Hill was bailed in the sum of £500 until she appears for sentencing on May 19.
