A 47-YEAR-OLD Oxford woman who falsely claimed more than £60,000 in benefits had her sentence reduced.
As we reported yesterday, Regina Hutchinson, of Abingdon Road, made illegal claims totalling £60,365 over more than 10 years.
She was given a 15-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, at Oxford Crown Court on Monday.
However, Judge Christopher Compston today reduced the length of the suspended sentence to 12 months, in line with Government guidelines.
