Default Jade Mum in Benefit Probe (press report and disscussion)

Quote:
JADE MUM IN BENEFIT PROBE
Telly & mag deals as she claims cash

JADE Goody's mum Jackiey Budden is to be quizzed by social security officials over the amount of money she has earned while claiming benefits.

Foul-mouthed Jackiey, 49, has had a string of payments for TV shows and magazine and newspaper articles over the last 18 months.

She will also get around £50,000 for her Celebrity Big Brother stint - although this cash has not yet arrived. But she gets £126 income support a fortnight, £64 disability living allowance a month and an undisclosed amount in housing benefit.

Last night the Tories' Work and Pensions spokesman Nigel Waterson said: "Many hardworking people will be outraged at a woman who is capable of earning decent money but prefers to claim benefits."

Under Department of Work and Pensions rules Jackiey -who has a withered arm after an horrific motorbike crash -should declare her earnings in case it affects her right to claim the benefits.

Since 2005 she has appeared in Just Jade, Jade's Salon, Bo' Selecta, Davina, Extreme Makeover, 60 Minute Makeover and Friday Night Project.

Now DWP investigators will consider if Jackiey, the first "star" to be voted out of the C4 show last month, has earned too much to be able to claim. Her Big Brother cash - thought to be around £50,000 - will take her over the savings allowance for claimants when the payment finally arrives.

A close friend of Jackiey said: "She has appeared on countless shows since last summer and has pocketed money."

Jackiey, who has admitted cheque fraud when she was struggling to bring up Jade in London, told The People yesterday: "I haven't got paid for Big Brother until the end of the month. I spoke to Social Security and I'm 100 per cent safe."

Regarding other TV and mag deals she said: "That was years ago. Social Security are going to sort this out on Monday."

Her spokesman added: "She is totally aware she needs to inform the DWP."
