Man jailed for disability benefit fraud after being caught playing golf is suing NHS for £500,000
A MAN jailed for disability benefit fraud after being photographed playing golf is suing the NHS for £500,000.
Leigh Neilly, 43, claims doctors wrongly told him he had motor neurone disease when he actually had a less serious condition.
He discovered he didn’t have the neurological condition in 2010 as he faced benefit fraud charges.
Leigh claims he found he had Hirayama disease – another non life-threatening neurological condition.
Motherwell-born Leigh was jailed in 2012 for failing to tell the Department for Work and Pensions his health had improved.
