Can anyone think of a better Benefit Cheat related headline?

I wonder if she was also overpaid as a result of the capital from royalties?!?...and 10 children...blimey, not sure if that would be a symptom of her condition or whether I should be impressed that she had the time!

Probably is - see R(A)3/74, the term 'attention' "denotes a concept of some personal service of an active nature"

.....and some degree of intimacy!
