A STAPLEFORD man has been fined after he admitted claiming hundreds of pounds in benefit he was not entitled to from a council.
Matt David Armstrong, 30, of Nottingham Road, admitted failing to declare he had left a property while claiming housing benefit.
Armstrong, formerly of Newstead, claimed over £600 he was not entitled to.
Gedling Borough Council said in September 2011 it received information suggesting Armstrong had left the property in June 2011.
At court last week he was fined £100, ordered to pay £100 towards prosecution costs, and also incurred a £15 victim surcharge. He will also be required to repay the housing benefit overpayment to the council.
