A benefits cheat who conned the Department for Work and Pensions out of thousands while she worked at a leading private school has been placed under a curfew.
Jean Muir falsely obtained more than £7,000 in benefits she was not entitled to while she was working at £32,000 a year Dollar Academy.
Muir, 56, admitted duping the benefits agency out of £7,459.57 by hiding the fact she was working at the school while claiming benefits.
She admitted that between 23 May 2017 and 28 July 2019 she was claiming money she was not entitled to while working for Dollar Academy Trust.
Muir, Ravenswood, Tillicoultry, admitted knowingly making false representations to the DWP by giving details of one employer but not mentioning her work at the school.
She obtained carer's allowance as a benefit she was not entitled to and was placed under a curfew for four months at Alloa Sheriff Court.
Former pupils at the Clackmannananshire boarding school include ex-Scotland rugby captain John Barclay, Michelin-starred chef Tom Kitchin, and Sara Mendes da Costa - the voice of the speaking clock.
