A mum cheated the benefits system out of more than £47k while living with her casino worker partner.
Canasta Dixon, 47, failed to notify the DWP she was sharing her home with David Dixon over a four year period and continued claiming benefits when she was not entitled to. Her partner was employed by Genting Casino and Liverpool Crown Court heard he used her address on Glenfield Close, Prenton, on his bank statements.
When the mum-of-three was quizzed by the Birkenhead Job Centre in November 2019 she admitted to being in a relationship with her partner. She denied they were married and said she had changed her surname to his on her 40th birthday.
