Woman denies stealing £15,000 in benefits

A Douglas woman has denied pocketing more than £15,000 from benefit fraud.

Sharon Foolkes-Green of Alfred Teare Grove appeared before Deputy High Bailiff Rachael Braidwood at Douglas Courthouse.

The 58 year old denies two counts of failing to inform officials in a change of circumstances and one of making false representations to obtain benefits.

She is alleged to have been overpaid £15,700 between June 2021 and July 2023.

She was bailed in the sum of £500 to appear in court again on July 9.
