Sentencing date set after a young Wigan man admits to a £5,500 benefit fiddle

Ryan Cleworth, of Thomas Street, Hindley Green, pleaded guilty to four charges of receiving credits to which he was not entitled between 2019 and 2021 and then failing to take steps to cancel those payments, knowing he didn't deserve them.

He was released on unconditional bail until he is sentenced by Wigan magistrates on May 17.
