Fraudulent Claim Ends in Suspended Sentence | Sheffield News

A woman named Danielle Marie Harrison, 40, faces prison for fraud after collecting nearly $48,000 in Universal Credit while her children weren’t living with her — a deception she maintained for seven years. Despite mental health struggles including PTSD and a history of trauma, she repeatedly failed to disclose the truth to the DWP, signing off on annual declarations without honesty. Magistrates ruled her actions were deliberate fraud, and though she received multiple chances to come clean, she chose to mislead. She’s now sentenced to 12 months suspended prison, 150 hours of unpaid work, 15 rehab days, and must repay $272 in costs — all while still receiving benefits.
