    Pensioner pleads guilty to benefit fraud

    Douglas Courthouse

    A pensioner from Jurby has pleaded guilty to benefit fraud after receiving over £3,000 he wasn't entitled to. 

    73-year-old Douglas Corkill appeared at Douglas Courthouse last week where he admitted four counts of making false representations. 
     
    He was claiming Income Support between March and June of 2015 - but failed to declare that he was also working. 
     
    Social enquiry reports have been requested before he is sentenced on March 29th.
