A woman has been convicted at Newry Crown Court for claiming over £63,000 in benefits she wasn't entitled to.
Sixty-nine year-old Margaret Griffin of Main Avenue in Newry was handed a suspended two-month sentence.
She'll also have to repay any outstanding money to the Department for Communities.
Margaret claimed Pension Credit and Housing Benefit but failed to declare capital.
The fraud was uncovered following an investigation by the Department.
