She claimed an NHS Student Bursary while studying for a diploma in Mental

Health Nursing at London South Bank University. At this time, she did not

have the required settled status under the Immigration Act 1971.

She falsely declared she was British, producing a false UK birth certificate.

As a result, she was paid a total of £48,240.71. Her tuition fees for student

nurses were also funded by the NHS and amounted to £17,328.

She pleaded guilty to three offences; false accounting, relating to her

bursary application form; obtaining money transfers; and using a false

instrument by presenting a false birth certificate to apply for her student

bursary. She was jailed for nine months.
