A woman who dishonestly claimed more than £18,000 of employment support allowance has avoided jail.
Sharron Ensor from Rawmarsh admitted fraud by false representation and was sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court.
Ensor claimed she was single and received £18,462 in employment support allowance from Barnsley Benefit Centre.
Judge Robert Kelson sentenced Ensor to three months in prison suspended for two years and she was also ordered to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.
