- Distinguishing Features / Details
- The judge said: "You are both decent, law-abiding people who found it easy to supplement your income and justified it as being not really dishonest because you were bringing up young children. You thought it was an easy way out to run a fraud on the State. Benefit fraud is criminal, and I must demonstrate to everyone that this was a fraud on your fellow-taxpayers - the ordinary man next door paying his taxes. You have to go to prison."
