NATIONAL bingo winner Donna Biddle collected £108,000 - and still continued to claim income support from the DSS.
The 20-year-old single mother of boys aged three and a half and eight months, of Pinvin Caravan Site, Pershore, formerly of Rynal Street, Evesham, still had not handed back the £2,299 she had been overpaid, magistrates at Evesham were told last Thursday.
Biddle pleaded guilty to making a false representation to obtain benefit on February 29 and asked for 31 similar offences to be considered. She was fined £1,500, with £200 costs, and ordered to repay the £2,299.
