BENEFIT CHEAT GETS
COMMUNITY PUNISHMENTA New Ash Green woman who
falsely claimed benefits she was not
entitled to was sentenced to 100
hours of unpaid community work
at Sevenoaks Magistrates’ Court
earlier this week.
Mrs Claire Harvey, 36, of Penenden, New
Ash Green was found guilty of two charges
relating to offences under section 112 of the
Social Security Administration Act 1992 on
Tuesday (19 August).
An investigation, conducted by Sevenoaks
District Council, established that Mrs Harvey
had falsely claimed Housing Benefit and
Council Tax Benefit for a period during 2006
and 2007 by failing to declare to the relevant
benefit authorities that she was in paid work.
As a result of her actions Mrs Harvey
received £1,261.
90 in Housing Benefit and
£107.
81 in Council Tax Benefit which she
knew she was not entitled to.
At court, Mrs Harvey was sentenced to a
community order for a period of 12 months.
During this period, she is required to carry out
100 hours of unpaid community work.
Mrs
Harvey was also ordered to pay legal costs of
£450.
Sevenoaks District Council has taken
appropriate action to secure the repayment of
the Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit
debt.
• If the public wish to report any instances of
benefit fraud they can do so, in confidence, by
calling the Council’s 24 hour benefit fraud
hotline on 01732 227445.
Be prepared!
Residents are being urged to make sure they know
how to protect themselves in the event of a major
emergency.
Even though major emergencies are rare,
residents armed with knowledge about how to
best deal with an emergency situation are more
likely to fare well compared with those who are
less well informed.
Residents can find out how to prepare for an
emergency by logging onto
www.
sevenoaks.
gov.
uk/emergencyplanning.
The
pages on Sevenoaks District Council’s website
include practical advice for a range of emergency
scenarios, how to find out information during an
emergency and details of the local emergency
responders including councils, utility companies
and emergency services.
Cllr Keith Loney, Sevenoaks District Council’s
Cabinet member with responsibility for
emergency planning, says: “Whilst serious
emergencies are thankfully exceptional events,
there is a mounting body of evidence that suggests
you can markedly improve the protection of
people and property if you know what to do in
such a situation.
It’s easy to find out about what
to do in the event of an emergency and it could
make a difference between life or death.
Either log
onto the Council’s website or call HM
Government Preparing for Emergencies hotline.
”

Government’s ‘Preparing for Emergencies’
