DRA taxi driver has been sentenced after falsely claiming more than £7,200 in Universal Credit, according to a report by the North West Evening Mail. The case was heard after investigators found that the driver continued to receive benefit payments while working and earning as a taxi driver, without declaring their income.
The article explains that the fraudulent claims were made over a period of time, during which the driver failed to notify the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) about their employment and earnings. As a result, the individual received thousands of pounds they were not entitled to.
The court heard that the offence came to light following checks by authorities, leading to prosecution. The driver was ultimately convicted and sentenced, with the court taking into account both the value of the fraudulent claims and the circumstances of the case. #taxidriver #dwp #rideshare #fraud #news
