A BENEFITS cheat who stole £50,000 of handouts secured a job processing Universal Credit claims.
Chido Vincent, 57, got a Department for Work and Pensions job in 2023, despite his 2014 conviction.
The Nigerian has now been dismissed from the DWP in Leeds for a matter thought to be unrelated to his conviction.
He was jailed for 18 months for overstaying his visa and using a forged letter to claim benefits.
Mr Vincent said he did not have to disclose his conviction as it was past five years.
He said: “During the recruitment process I was asked everything and I answered honestly.
