From the great state of Wisconsin, what goes around comes around:
Lisa M. Miller, 32, received her sentence Friday (1/15) in federal court in Madison.
In October, 2008, Miller was accused of applying for disability benefits, stating in her application she had breast cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, and post-traumatic stress disorder. She later provided the federal agency medical documents she made herself related to those diseases. She also told an agency administrator she was told by doctors she had 8-12 months to live. Miller was found out before any benefits were paid.
In her sentencing, Judge Barbara Crabb noted Miller’s prior fraud activities, which include two convictions for check fraud. Crabb said it was time for a wake-up call and imposed the time behind bars.

Seems relatively harsh compared to what someone might get in the UK.
