A BOREHAMWOOD woman received a community order for 100 hours unpaid work and will pay back £5000 for falsely claimed benefits.
Soussan Mahjoub Moghaddas, 53, of Danzinger Way, Borehamwood, appeared at Hemel Hempstead Magistrates’ Court for sentencing last Friday following her guilty plea made in May at Watford Magistrates’ Court.
She was charged with making a false statement on an application for housing and council tax benefits claiming she was not related to her landlord. Her landlord was actually her daughter and this resulted in an overpayment of housing benefit of £8,866.78.
Mrs Moghaddas was sentenced to a 12-month community order for 100 hours unpaid work.
Hertsmere Borough Council was awarded a compensation order of £5000, which is the maximum that the court could grant.
