A Dundee man who failed to declare he had two jobs has been ordered to carry out unpaid work.
David Ramsay, 55, of Dudhope Court, was sentenced to a community payback order at Dundee Sheriff Court.
Ramsay admitted fraudulently claiming £12,000 of housing and council tax benefit by failing to declare he had two jobs. He committed the offence between November 23 2007 and October 4 2015.
He was ordered to complete 120 hours of unpaid work within nine months and handed a restriction of liberty order.
Meanwhile, in a separate case, another Dundee man was sentenced to an unpaid work order after he fraudulently claimed £5,000 of benefits.

He committed the fraud at his home address between April 16 2012 and May 3 last year. He was ordered to complete 120 hours of unpaid work within nine months.
