Grandmother Kay Wilson jailed for claiming £75,000 in benefits despite having four jobs after recovering from three strokes Kay Wilson claimed £74,769 in disability handouts over eight years Discovered after investigators realised she was paying National Insurance Later emerged she had posed nude for calendar with colleagues Jailed for 32 weeks at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court yesterday A grandmother who posed naked for a charity calendar has been jailed for benefit fraud, after she claimed she was too disabled to even dress herself. Kay Wilson, 54, pocketed almost £75,000 of taxpayers' cash by claiming she was too ill to work and could barely get out of bed after suffering three strokes. But she was exposed after pictures of her emerged posing in the nude for a calendar to raise money with work colleagues. Benefits cheat: Kay Wilson claimed nearly £75,000 in disability benefits but was exposed after pictures of her emerged posing in a calendar to raise money with work colleagues Jailed: Kay Wilson pocketed almost £75,000 of taxpayers' cash by claiming she was too ill to work and could barely get out of bed after suffering three strokes A court heard she pocketed £74,769 in disability handouts over eight years - despite having a full-time job paying up to £20,000-a-year. Wilson was still being paid £9,000-a-year in disability living allowance and severe disablement allowance when she was working between 2003 and 2011. Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard she told the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) in 1998 she had difficulties getting out of bed and getting dressed. But she was rumbled after investigators realised she was paying National Insurance contributions so must have a job. It then emerged Wilson had stripped off for the calendar posing provocatively with just plate of fairy cakes and pies covering her modesty in 2011. She was jailed for 32 weeks yesterday after admitting two charges of failing to notify the DWP of a change of circumstances in relation to her benefit claims. Benefits: Wilson was still being paid £9,000-a-year in disability living allowance and severe disablement allowance when she was working between 2003 and 2011 Sentencing her, Judge Paul Glenn said: 'Benefit fraud costs this country millions of pounds a year - money that comes from the pockets of ordinary, honest taxpayers. People like you, benefit cheats, take away precious public resources which would otherwise be spent on worthy causes. You knew what you were doing was wrong. You did not voluntarily desist from the false claims, you were caught. People like you, benefit cheats, take away precious public resources which would otherwise be spent on worthy causes Judge Paul Glenn You got used to that additional income which was easy money. The court heard Wilson, from Wetley Rocks, Staffordshire, started claiming benefits in 1993 on the basis it would take her 20 minutes to walk 10 yards with a walking stick and she was prone to falling. But she carried on claiming benefits when she started working at Leek Golf Club in November 2002. She then moved on to other jobs before landing work at Wrights Pies in Stoke-on-Trent in November 2008. It meant Wilson was earning between £15,000 and £20,000-a-year at work - and then receiving more than £9,000-a-year tax-free in state handouts. The court heard £11,108.86 of the £74,769 she claimed illegally was written off when Wilson was declared bankrupt last year. Defending Wilson, Jason Holt said she suffered a severe stroke at the age of 34 and was wheelchair-bound for two years. He said: 'At times she was well enough to work.' Sentence: Wilson has been jailed for 32 weeks at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court after admitting two charges of failing to notify the DWP of a change of circumstances in relation to her benefit claims After the hearing, Lord David Freud, Minister for Welfare Reform, said: 'Benefit cheats who try to steal from taxpayers need to know our investigators are actively targeting them. Fraudulently claiming benefits is stealing from the taxpayer and taking support from others who need it. These cheats can end up with criminal records and will have to pay back their ill-gotten gains.
