Comparing court sentences is always a risky business, but there are a couple of imprisoned former MPs who might feel bitter about this woman.
They stole a lot less from the public purse than she did, but she's been given community work:

Many of these benefits cheats cases are similar: "The original claim was honest," your honour. "But she moved back in with her partner and forgot to stop claiming." As you do.
They tend to be sentenced on value, £20,000 is not normally prison, so it's the MPs that have been given harsh treatment, rather than this woman treated leniently.
