‘Housebound’ benefit cheat Catherine Wieland, 33, caught ziplining in Mexico

Interesting. An extract:

“While claiming her health was so poor she could not cook or wash herself, Wieland made 76 beauty appointments, visited 60 pubs, clubs and restaurants and spent money in foreign currencies.

After her luxury trip to Mexico, Wieland submitted a review claiming her condition had got worse.

She pleaded guilty to failing to notify a change of circumstances and must now repay the £23,662 stolen from taxpayers between 2021 and 2024.

She was sentenced on Thursday to 28 weeks in custody, suspended for 18 months, the DWP said.”

So, no punishment, then. No deterrent for other women to do likewise.
