A Whangamata man who pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining nearly
$110,000 worth of benefit payments wrote a cheque to repay the money and
was discovered to part-own $1 million worth of property.
Graham Herbert Taylor, 56, pleaded guilty at the North Shore District
Court in May to two charges of using a document to obtain a pecuniary
advantage, after he was found to have received benefit overpayments
between 2000 and 2009.
Taylor said he claimed the invalid benefit, accommodation supplement and
disability allowance to help him look after his 87-year-old mother,
Margaret, a stroke and heart attack victim.
