False Claims

UK -- A karate coach and TV stuntman caught falsely claiming disability benefits was jailed for 15 months yesterday.

The 49-year-old man, who worked on shows such as The Bill and Coronation Street, was filmed giving a karate class to youngsters by undercover investigators.

The fraud investigators, working on an anonymous tipoff, also found the dad-of-two was working as a security guard.

A court was told he made about £33,000 in illegally claimed benefits between 2001 and 2005, saying he could barely walk.
