Woman bailed after benefit fraud charges

A woman accused of wrongly claiming more than £11,000 in benefits will appear in court again in December.

Rebecca Rose Parker of Vicarage Close in Ballabeg appeared before Deputy High Bailiff Christopher Arrowsmith at Douglas Courthouse.

She is charged with one count of failing to inform benefits staff of a change in circumstances and four of making false representations to obtain benefits.

No pleas have yet been entered, and the 31-year-old was bailed in the sum of £500 to appear in court again on December 14.
