Read MoreA woman who defrauded a charity in North Yorkshire by pretending she had cancer has been ordered to repay just over £26,000.
Image source, North Yorkshire PolicePatricia Robertshaw, 42, pretended to have radiotherapy to acquire three months' sick pay from Yorkshire Cancer Research in Harrogate.
She was jailed for four years and five months in March, after she pleaded guilty to fraud by false representation and forging exam certificates.
Det Con Shane Martin, who led the case for North Yorkshire Police, said: “This is the most abhorrent fraud case I have investigated in 25 years of being a police officer.

On Monday, York Crown Court ordered Robertshaw had benefited from her offences to the value of £26,207.

This is the scene this morning as campaigners protest outside an inquiry over whether to allow fracking near a village in Rotherham.
Protesters have gathered in the rain outside the offices of Rotherham Council where an eight-day inquiry over plans to drill at Woodsetts is getting under way.
They say the site where UK-based petrochemicals firm Ineos want to build a well for exploratory drilling for shale gas, is too close to where elderly and vulnerable people are set to be housed.
"It goes without saying" that drivers should pay extra attention in the wet conditions, says South Yorkshire Fire Service.
And yet...

A public inquiry into the contamination of blood products thought to have killed more than 2,000 people comes to Leeds today.
Image source, FACTOR VIII/MARC MARNIEThe inquiry is examining how thousands of people were infected with hepatitis C and HIV from contaminated blood they were given in the 1970s and 80s.
About 5,000 people with haemophilia, a genetic condition which prevents blood from clotting properly, were infected when they were given blood products to help their blood clot.
Britain was struggling to keep up with demand for the treatment - known as clotting agent Factor VIII - and so supplies were imported from the US.
But much of the human blood plasma used to make the product came from donors such as prison inmates, who sold their blood.
The inquiry comes after decades of campaigning by victims, who claim the risks were never explained and the scandal was subsequently covered up.
Public hearings of the Infected Blood Inquiry will take place at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Wellington Street.

It'll be very wet today, with frequent spells of heavy rain.
Watch my full forecast here:

Image source, Humberside PoliceHung Manh Hoang was last seen on Waterdale, in the Bransholme area of Hull, at about 18:00 on Monday 3 June, police say.
Officers say they are "very concerned for his safety."
The teenager is described as being of Vietnamese origin, 5ft 6ins tall and of slim build.
He was last seen wearing a blue denim jacket, a black t-shirt, blue jeans and black trainers.
Anyone who has seen him is being urged to contact police immediately.
An inquiry is due to start later into whether to allow fracking near a village in Rotherham.
UK-based petrochemicals firm Ineos wants to build a well for exploratory drilling for shale gas at Woodsetts.
Rotherham Council has already faced an appeal from Ineos against its decision to turn down exploratory drilling at nearby Harthill.
Now, after the council refused two applications by the firm to drill at Woodsetts, another planning inquiry regarding the same site is set to begin today.
Campaigners say the planned fracking site is too close to where elderly and vulnerable people are set to be housed.
They've hired barristers to help them make their case and are planning a protest at the council offices this morning, ahead of the start of the inquiry which is due to last eight days.
Drivers in York who don't switch off their engines when requested to could face a £20 fine from today.
City of York Council is targeting drivers who don't turn off their engines outside schools or nurseries or in residential areas.
It's part of efforts to reduce air pollution in the city centre, but officials say fining drivers is a last resort and the aim is to change motorists' behaviour.
Do you have part of a 58ft-long sperm whale hiding somewhere in your loft or shed? If so, staff at Burton Constable Hall in East Yorkshire would like to hear from you.
A sperm whale skeleton has been on display at the hall for centuries, but over time a number of bones have been taken.
The skeleton is the remains of a bull whale which was stranded on the shore at nearby Tunstall in 1825, where it's unsurprisingly said to have aroused "a great deal of public interest, external".
Staff at Burton Constable are now asking for any of the whale's bones which people may have in safekeeping to be returned so the skeleton can be fully restored and rebuilt.
The charitable foundation which runs the site says it's launching "an ambitious bid to further conserve this historically significant specimen for the enjoyment of future generations".
A very wet and breezy day today, with prolonged spells of rain.
It will remain wet for much of the night, but rain will gradually turn lighter through the early hours:
A man was unconscious for several minutes after an attack in York city centre which saw him twice being punched in the head by an assailant.
The victim, who's aged between 30-40 and who's believed to be from York, was assaulted at about 04:15 on Sunday morning between Rougier Street and Station Road.
The suspect is described as a white male, in his early 20s, with blond/ginger hair with facial hair. He was also wearing a black zip-up jacket with light blue and black trainers.
A man has been arrested and interviewed on suspicion of assault in connection with the incident and has been released under investigation pending further inquiries, police say.
Anyone who saw what happened, or has any other information, is being asked to contact North Yorkshire Police.
In particular, officers say they want to speak to the actual victim of the assault.
The driver of a black taxi cab seen in the area when the victim fell to the ground may also have information, according to police.

A shortfall in government funding means some nurseries in England's poorest areas, including at least one in Bradford, could face closure, a charity has said.
A report by the Early Years Alliance found 17% of childcare providers surveyed in the most deprived areas of the country "anticipate closure in the next 12 months".
The survey of more than 350 nurseries and childminders found 43% of providers had been forced to cut back on learning resources and 19% said they had lowered the quality of food they gave to children.
Paula Williams, who runs a nursery in Bradford, said it could be forced to close if government funding did not increase.
All the 48 children at the centre are supported by the government's scheme, with no fee-paying students and Ms Williams said 80% of the budget was spent on staff costs.
The Department for Education said it spent £3.5bn a year on early education.
