A council worker today admitted to claiming more than £200,000 in benefits despite having three jobs and a property portfolio worth more than £500,000.
Gladys Popoola's six-year web of deception, which involved using a false identity and claiming to be unmarried and out-of-work, only came to an end today when she admitted to 16 counts relating to fraud.
Popoola, who has a 17-month-old baby, was warned she can expect a custodial sentence when she returns to Southwark Crown Court for sentencing on March 16.
The 47-year-old owned three homes in London and property in Kenya. She was receiving rental income from these homes as well as working for three companies.
However Popoola fraudulently claimed benefits by failing to declare that she was living with her husband, who was working, instead claiming she was unmarried in applications for income support, housing benefit, council tax benefit and special grant.
She also admitted today to lying in order to get legal aid in civil proceedings against her.
Popoola's jobs included two with housing groups and employment with Hammersmith and Fulham Council, which she obtained using a false national insurance number and the fake name Gladys Gitonga.
She confessed today to 13 counts of making false representation for benefit purposes, one of obtaining property by deception, a national insurance number in April 2004, one of fraud by false representation and one of possessing an article, namely a false national insurance number, for use in fraud

don't be so touchy .... the point i was making was that people have the freedom of choice to spend their money as they choose .... just because you think them "silly" - i.e. it would not be your choice - does not mean you are remotely corect

Anyway I think this, if youve paid into the system your entitled to benefits as long as your not fiddling. Those who havent paid into the system should get nothing.
Im dead against means testing on child benefit or winter fuel allowance.
If youve paid in its yours, if you havent dont ask.

too sweeping a statement - e.g. the poles in general come over and work exceedingly hard and successfully ..... however, there are certainly far too many immigrants whose contacts clearly know the tricks to beat the system ..... in fact, you might be amazed how difficult it is made for the legit claimant to get his dues

cynic . let me tell you this a lot of poles are claiming benefits .and you are wrong
they work no harder than any one else and yes i do no my family employed a few .
do some of them have two passports there own and there brothers or sisters
to claim benefits that is what i have been told if so they should be caught and put in jail back in poland

you've obviously got the bad eggs in your area ..... round here, there's a bunch who set up a car wash biz and work all hours, and also you will find that the building trade noew seems predominantly polish ..... i have a crew on a project at the moment and everything about them is first rate ...... by the way, my grandparents on both sides were polish too!!

if poles are good workers why is poland a second rate country ,
the uk is was great due to its people who made it so
why do they all want out instead of fighting to make it better .
easy option
