Sydney woman dressed up a doll to claim Centrelink parenting payments for almost 15 years after her baby died.

A woman who claimed Centrelink parenting payments for almost 15 years after her baby died would dress up a doll and pretend it was her daughter, a NSW judge has been told.

He said the disabled baby girl died in mid-1998 and the debt came to the fore in 2013 - a period of 14-and-a-half years.Mr Bernhaut conceded Mains claimed $209,114 in Centrelink payments she wasn't entitled to and made false oral representations over the years that her baby was still alive. "The DSP she may as well have been eligible for ... was some $2500 more than the single parenting payment ," he said.
