A lying grandmother has been jailed for cheating more than £50,000 in benefits by claiming she was disabled when she was working as a cleaner.
Emma Lagrue, aged 53, said she could not walk far but was busy earning money ironing and vacuum cleaning, a court heard.
She pocketed four types of disability and other benefits for six years before she was caught by investigators.
Jailing her for 33 weeks, a judge said that immediate imprisonment was necessary because she had swindled £51,293 over such a long period.
