I cannot stress this enough: If you're claiming disability checks, it's best not to be a golf champion on weekends.
If only someone had of told Brit vehicle inspector James Dorman of Crosby. Barely getting by on his 34,000 pound a year salary, Mr. Dorman supplemented with disability cheques. Oh, and in the 20 plus years he was on the disability the Daily Mail tells us that he received seven s e v e n new cars all outfitted to help the poor lad with his disability.
His undoing was playing in and winning the big prize in playing in an annual corporate tournament with the Vehicle and Operator Services' Agency. A routine visit from the folks that make routine visits found a trophy displayed proudly in his office at work.
Let's review now. You are on disability. The gov gives you a new car every three years. A nice new car. A VW Golf. Do not, I repeat, do not play in the company golf tourney and do not win it and if you do win it don't keep the trophy at work.
Mr. Dorman arrived at Liverpool crown court on crutches yesterday to be sentenced to six months in jail, ordered to pay a 1000 quid fine and suspended from work for 18 months. And he has repayed over 30K in fraudulent disability payments.
The court heard he began claiming disability benefits in the late 1980s when a doctor agreed his left knee left him unable to walk. Not unable to, the court heard, do a jig, play golf, climb a ladder, push a car, mow the lawn and on and on.
