Now she has to sell house

McLean at Ayr Sheriff Court last week

A CAR crash victim claimed £15,000 incapacity benefit while she worked for THREE care centres AND a supermarket.

Fifty-nine-year-old Anita McLean is now having to sell her house in Dalmellington to pay the money back to the Department of Work and Pensions.

McLean was seriously injured in a car crash in 1983 and was walking with the aid of a stick when she appeared in the dock at Ayr Sheriff Court last week.

During May 2004 and May 2008 she didn't inform the agency that her health had improved "to such an extent" that she was fit enough to work for care service companies in Kilmarnock and Prestwick.

She was also employed at Dalmellington Care Centre and Morrison's supermarket in Ayr.
