39-year-old will be sentenced in October
A Castletown woman will be sentenced in October after claiming almost £30,000 in benefits she wasn’t entitled to.
Nichola Karen Whitlam-Beckett, of Farrants Park, admitted making false representations to obtain benefits between July 2018 and February 2023.
The 39-year-old did not inform Treasury she was receiving money from other sources including employment.
A social enquiry report has been requested before she’s sentenced on 3 October.
Update: At Douglas Courthouse Whitlam-Beckett was sentenced to 200 hours of community service - you can find out more HERE.
