A former mayor who claimed disability allowance saying he needed help to wash and dress was an active member of a local golf club and helped his son on a paper round, a court was told.
John McGowan, ex Mayor of Clitheroe, was also seen by a witness "running from door-to-door" with newspapers during his son's paper round.
Preston Crown Court heard that McGowan, described as an "active Labour councillor" began claiming disability living allowance, initially legitimately, in 1992.
"The defendant said he was virtually unable to walk without mobility aids and assistance," said Miss Teresa Loftus on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.
