A crooked postman who pocketed more than £30,000 in disability benefits has been jailed after being caught delivering letters on his five-hour rounds.

Anthony Linaker, 46, claimed he was bed-ridden due to bad hips which left him struggling to dress himself, get out of his chair or even go to the toilet without help.

But a court heard how the benefits cheat had swindled a total of £33,087.55 in disability living allowance since 2012 while actively working as a postman.

Investigators from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) filmed him in September 2016 walking several miles a day with ease on his rounds in Glosop, Derbys.
