In April 2011, a Norfolk man was prosecuted for fraudulently claiming benefits while working for Jobcentre Plus:

 

A benefit cheat left officials red-faced at the Department of Work and Pensions after he falsely claimed a total of £18,000 in benefits while not declaring at one stage that he was working at the local job centre.

 

John Pickard, 64, was claiming benefits including incapacity benefit while not declaring he was working as a claims processor at the job centre, which a Norwich Crown Court judge described as “bizarre”.

 

The court heard that he is now repaying the money out of his weekly benefits.

 

Pickard was ordered to do 200 hours unpaid work and given a 12 month community order.

He said under the present guidelines he fell into a bracket which meant he would receive a community order rather than prison for the offence.

 

Reading elsewhere it was £18k of benefit fraud.

 

Anyone know the amount needed in guidelines for prison?
