Could I ask you where I can pick up a form so that I can claim council tax benefit and income support?
You report that a woman found guilty of an £8,697.41 benefit fraud is ordered by magistrates to do 60 hours' unpaid work (Oxford Mail, October 9).
£8,697.41 for 60 hours' work? That is better than working.
I have not worked out how much an hour that is, but it is more than I earn — what a disgrace. Benefit fraudsters should pay back every penny, with interest on top, or go to jail for at least a year.
