A Katoomba woman has been ordered to carry out 100 hours of community service after claiming more than $7000 in payments to which she was not entitled. Katrina Marie Harris, 33, of Katoomba was found guilty of obtaining a financial advantage from a Commonwealth entity in Lithgow Local Court on December 7. According to a document tendered to court, Harris had claimed to be receiving no income from work at the time she was accessing Abstudy payments in 2014. She was working as an aged care assistant at the time and tax records revealed the problem to the Department of Human Services. Of the $7345.41 she received in Abstudy, the department found she was entitled to just $153.24. Harris has been ordered to repay $7142.17.
