A Galashiels woman who falsely claimed more than £7,000 in benefits had sentence deferred until September 1 for good behaviour and to continue repayment.
Mhairi Dobson, 41, of Broom Drive, admitted obtaining £2,460 income support, and £4,615 housing and council tax benefits between November 2010 and May 2011.
Her solicitor, Heather Stewart, said Dobson, a first offender, was currently making repayments.
