A BENFIT cheat caught on a waterslide after claiming she could not walk without crutches has been given another six months to pay back every penny.
Tina Attanasio, 51, was framed by her own holiday video showing her splashing around in a bikini.
She was jailed for ten weeks last December told to sell her house immediately to pay back £16,403 of fiddled disability living allowance.
But she returned to court today after falling behind on her payments and asked for more time to sell her home.
Attanasio, from Cardiff, was caught when a former lover gave a holiday film to benefits investigators after they split up.
She admitted wrongly claiming £19,000 of disability living allowance.
Attanasio was ordered to repay £16,403 within six months.
The court heard she would get the money from the sale of a house which held all her assets.
But Attanasio appeared in court to ask for another six months to try and sell the house in a difficult housing market.
