MARLBOROUGH postman Samuel Dixon has been suspended after a court found he had been unlawfully claiming Disability Living Allowance.
Dixon, of Kitchener Street, Gorse Hill, Swindon, was warned he could be jailed when he appeared at Swindon Crown Court.
The 30-year-old had been claiming the benefit and failed to tell the authorities his condition had improved. He pleaded guilty to failing to notify a change in circumstances.
He accepted he had failed to inform the Department of Work and Pensions of an improvement in his mobility between April 2009 and January 2014.
Judge Peter Blair QC said he would adjourn the case to January 6, for a pre-sentence report and released him on bail.
