A married father-of-two was jailed for 13 months today after fraudulently claiming almost £80,000 in benefits for 36 children.
Irvin Fraser, 30, from Aberdeen, admitted claiming child tax credits over three years, costing the public purse £79,718.
The recovering heroin addict began the scheme to feed his habit, Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard.
Emphasis added by me.
At the time he was using £150-£200 worth of heroin daily, he said.

Oh, the eejit will argue, if the heroin was legal, it'd be cheaper.
Hey, a cup of coffee is cheap, yet there are people who can't afford that. I was just begged for change for a cup at 6AM this morning!
You think someone in the grip of a drug is just going to peacefully sit around and beg for spare change?
"As a result of the substantial media coverage Mr Fraser has had to deal with a substantial amount of ill feeling, particularly within his own area.
"It's not surprising they are less than happy regarding his conduct ... made clear to him on numerous occasions when he's felt safe to leave his home as it were."
Awwww, the poor baby!
