How can she walk free?!? She should be forced to pay the money back from her savings. Just because she refused shouldn't mean she shouldn't pay. The money should be taken.

this is the most disgraceful thing i have ever heard! Why isnt she in prison (even tho that would cost us taxpayers to keep her there.)!

what annoys me is when you claim you have to declare all your savings.even redundancy money when made redundant.she didn't declare it she broke the law and she should go to prison for fraudxxxxxxx(:
