A woman has admitted fraudulently claiming more than £65,000 in benefits, reports BBC Isle of Man.

54-year-old Deborah Dalgarno claimed she did not live with a partner and was too ill to work while claiming various benefits between 2014 and 2020.

Douglas Courthouse heard she had been in a relationship since 1998 and been on several holidays to Cyprus during the period.

She was sentenced to two years in prison, suspended for two years.

The court heard Dalgarno, of Ballacry Park in Colby, fraudulently claimed Job Seekers Allowance, Income Support and disability benefits at different times during the period.
