Tracy Johnson, 52, told benefits staff that her condition meant she could not go outside while, in fact, she was visiting countries including India, the US and Argentina, where she worked as a tour guide.


I am glad she is now in Jail
and the rest of that Criminals life she must repay
the stolen tax payers money

****ing idiot.

I cant help but wonder though how on earth these people fool everyone..I have attempted to help a genuinely disabled friend of mine get DLA and they are SO strict about it. Its not like you can just say 'oh I am agoraphobic' and they will give you it, you need years of proper psychiatric reports and everything. And even then half of the time you will get turned down D:

n one year alone between 2011 and 2012, she spent just one month in the UK spending time in America and Argentina, where she worked in both countries as a tour guide, returning from a four-month holiday to India and Goa in April 2012.
The luggage tags were still on her suitcases when she was arrested at her mother's home in Builth Wells.
'I was entitled to a little break,' she told the jury.
'I think I'm entitled to go and sit on a beach in Goa. But you can sit on a beach in Goa watching the sunset and still be in a pretty desperate state.'


Jeez we would all like a little break like that love partly subsidised courtesy of the tax payer :joker:

I'm agoraphobic but I'm partial to a six month break in Goa. :joker:
