Army and Navy officers in fraud inquiry
A total of 16 service personnel are under investigation for fraud over allowances for children at a Penzance school.
A Royal Navy lieutenant commander, an Army lieutenant colonel and at least one other officer are among those under investigation.
The investigation surrounds the alleged misuse of the Continuity of Education Allowance, which is worth up to £5,833 each term for children who board.
It is alleged some claimants have cheated the taxpayer out of up to £20,000 through misuse of the allowance.
Ouch.
