flag A UK man was jailed for falsely claiming £18,000 in disability benefits while actively coaching football and performing physically demanding tasks.

flag A 62-year-old man from Staffordshire was jailed for six months after being caught fraudulently claiming £18,000 in Personal Independence Payment while coaching a football team. flag Undercover footage showed him walking the full length of a pitch, lifting heavy equipment, and standing for long periods—actions contradicting his claim of being housebound and unable to walk more than 20 meters due to back problems. flag He had received PIP since 2017 and failed to report his physical activity or improvements in his condition, even after being warned. flag Prosecutors said he only updated his claim when it benefited him. flag The court ruled his actions harmed the integrity of the welfare system, and he was ordered to repay the overpayment.
